C major is the simplest as it contains no sharps or flats. In relation to the piano, this scale is played on white keys only, which makes the scale visually more approachable. C major on the guitar is not always the first scale we learn, some often learn G or D. But if we are to approach the guitar in a theoretical way, it really is best to start with C major. In addition to having no sharps or flats to think about, it also contains all the open notes of a guitar, so we can use this to our advantage. The key of C contains 7 notes: C, D, E, F, G, A, B; we can mix up these notes to play melodies. If all of the your favorite pop songs were played in the key of C major, chances are they only use these 7 notes, whether it is in the melody, the chords, or the bassline. The intervals between these notes work together to create a key. If I were to play a note outside the key, say a G#, it would be called non-diatonic--meaning that the note is not diatonic, or does not belong, to the key of C major. Some of you may be reading this article as part of our Guitar Solo Style Course. In this course, we are only going to be playing diatonic arrangements, this means that all the notes we will use will be either C, D, E, F, G, A, or B. Everything will also be played in open position which refers to the first 3 frets, so it is vital that we have an understanding of our chords and scale in this position.

Read More »The D chord on guitar is very difficult for beginners because you have to use three 'split' fingers (they're not bunched together in an easy or compact group) and secondly you must avoid playing 2 strings. (See those X symbols on the chord box? They mean “don't play this string”.)
