01 of 05 C Major Chord (Open Position) C Major Shape 1. If the diagram above is unfamiliar to you, take a moment to learn how to read chord charts. The basic C major chord shown here is a common beginner chord generally learned almost immediately by new guitarists. This C major shape features open strings and has a full, lush sound that works well in almost all situations. The C major chord is made up of three different notes - C, E, and G. You'll notice that the above chord features five - not three - different strings being played. This is because some of those three notes in a C major chord have been repeated. Fingering this C Major Chord place your third finger on the third fret of the fifth string

place your second finger on the second fret of the fourth string

place your first finger on the first fret of the second string When playing the above C major chord shape, you'll want to avoid strumming the open sixth string. Although the open string ("E") is actually a note in the C major chord, it can sound a little funny when used as the bass note in your chord shape. 02 of 05 C Major Chord (based on A major shape) C Major Shape 4. This alternate shape (a standard major barre chord with root on the fifth string) for playing a C major chord is actually based on the A major chord shape. This C major shape sounds a little less full than a traditional open C major chord. You'll often find electric guitarists use this shape, as the lack of open strings makes it easier to "control". If you examine the notes being played on the fifth fret (on the fourth, third and second strings) you should be able to spot the open A major chord shape. The first finger takes the place of the open strings in an A major chord. Fingering this C Major Chord place your first finger on the third fret of the fifth string

place your third finger on the fifth fret of the third string

place your third finger on the fifth fret of the second string

place your first finger on the third fret of the first string To play the chord using this fingering, you'll need to flatten your third finger across the fretboard. This may be initially challenging - practice holding down the chord shape and hitting strings one at a time to ensure all notes are ringing properly. As with the first fingering, it is acceptable to not try and finger the note on the first string and to avoid playing (or muffle) that string. 03 of 05 C Major Chord (based on G major shape) C Major Shape 6. This version of the C major chord is based on the open G major chord, with the barred first finger substituting for open strings. This chord shape provides a fuller sound than some of the other barred versions of the C chord. Fingering this C Major Chord Place your fourth finger on the eighth fret of the sixth string (this is the root note "C").

Place your third finger on the seventh fret of the fifth string.

Use your first finger to barre the fifth fret of the fourth, third and second strings. Avoid playing the first string. You may need to slightly "roll back" your first finger - so the bony side of your finger (rather than the fleshy "palm" part of your finger) is doing the barring. 04 of 05 C Major Chord (based on E major shape) C Major Shape 9. Those who have learned barre chords will recognize this shape as the major barre chord with root on the sixth string. If you look at the notes in the chord in the diagram above, you'll see the shape on the second and third fret resembles an E major chord. The fretted notes on the first fret are where the open strings would be for the E chord. Fingering this C Major Chord Place your first finger across all sixth strings on the eighth fret.

Place your third finger on the 10th fret of the fifth string.

Place your fourth finger on the 10th fret of the fourth string.

Place your second finger on the ninth fret of the third string. You may need to slightly "roll back" your first finger - so the bony side of your finger (rather than the fleshy "palm" part of your finger) is doing the barring.
