As a beginning guitar player, one of the first things you will learn is how to play chords. Guitar chords are made up of 2 or more strings being played at the same time. In this video guitar lesson you are going to learn how to read guitar chord charts. Chord charts are the way you are going to learn how to play guitar chords as a beginner guitar player.

(Video Guitar Lesson)

This how to read guitar chord charts lesson comes from my Rhythm Guitar Mastery course. If you want a systematic way to build your vocabulary of essential guitar chords, and learn how to strum like a pro…check it out. A guitar chord chart is a picture of a section of the fretboard and neck if it was standing up vertically. The vertical lines are the strings, and the horizontal lines are the fret bars. The vertical line furthest to the right is the 1st string, and the furthest to the left is the 6th string. If the top horizontal line is thicker, then that represents the nut of the guitar. (see parts of the guitar) Then the next lower horizontal line is the 1st fret bar, and the next lower would be the 2nd and so on. The dots tell you where to put your fingers, and the numbers underneath the chord chart tell you what fingers to use. A 0 stands for an open string. An X means to either not play the string, or mute it. We will talk more about muting a string shortly. If there is a T, then you use your thumb to play that note.

Finger Numbers in Guitar Chord Charts

Different instruments use different numbering systems for your fingers. On the guitar your index finger is your 1st finger, and your pinky is your 4th. Your thumb is just indicated with a “T”.If you also play piano this may be a little confusing because your thumb is considered your 1st finger, and your pinky is considered your 5th finger.

What famous person has synesthesia?

Synesthetes Name Profession Kanye West Multiple Rapper, singer-songwriter, record producer, fashion designer Nikola Tesla Sound to color Inventor Eves Karydas Sound to color Singer-songwriter Duke Ellington Sound to color Composer, pianist, bandleader 42 more rows

This is a list of notable people who have claimed to have the neurological condition synesthesia. Following that, there is a list of people who are often wrongly believed to have had synesthesia because they used it as a device in their art, poetry or music (referred to as pseudo-synesthetes). Estimates of prevalence of synesthesia have ranged widely, from 1 in 4 to 1 in 25,000 – 100,000. However, most studies have relied on synesthetes reporting themselves, introducing self-referral bias.[1] Media outlets including Pitchfork have critically noted the considerable numbers of musical artists from the 2010s onwards claiming to be synesthetes, observing that "without literally testing every person who comes out in the press as a synesthete, it’s exceedingly difficult to tell who has it and who is lying through their teeth for cultural cachet" and that claims of experiencing synesthesia can be employed "as an express route to creative genius".[2]
