The E Major Guitar Chord is definitely one of the easiest chords to learn and play. Just be certain that you are pressing down on the strings firmly enough. Play each string one at a time to be sure that you are producing a clean sound. If any of the strings buzz or sound muted, then something is not right.

The C Major Chord is one of the easier beginner acoustic guitar chords to learn and play.  The C Major Chord is found in the C Major Scale: C D E F G A B C. It is made up of the 1(root note), 3 and 5 of this scale. Meaning the notes C, E and G.

Below are two versions of the C Chord for you to learn. The first is the most common version of this chord, followed by the C Chord played with fourth finger on the G note of the 1st string.

C Major Chord Notes: C E G

Here is a key that will help you read the chart:

C Chord Version 1

This version is the most popular version of this chord played down at the first few frets of your guitar.

The C note is at the root of the chord meaning the top of the chord shown in the diagram below. Make certain you are only strumming the first five strings as indicated in the diagram below.

Feeling adventurous? Interested in learning  how to play a couple of advanced C Major Chords?  I put together a little post the other day that includes diagrams on how to play C Major Barre Chords.  Click the link to your left to view that post. Enjoy!

Here is a basic acoustic guitar chord chart that I put together to help the beginner guitarist quickly learn chords.

I also included a list of video demonstrations on how to play the guitar chords.

Play each chord slowly making certain that you have a clean sound when you play each note individually. If you don’t get a clean sound you are not pressing down the strings hard enough, or one of your fingers is touching another string.

This is common so do not get discouraged!

Do not try and master all of these chords all at once. Take on a few at a time and then move on.
