Modern Chord Guide: a step by step guide to playing some of today’s popular chords.

The Modern Chord Guide continues the work begun in The Modern Sound Guitarist by providing a step by step guide to playing some of today’s popular chords. This series is designed for students who have finished the beginning guitar course or for anyone who has learned the basic chords and wants to improve their chord vocabulary. When all the lessons are mastered, the student will be able to play over 90 different chords. Each chord is illustrated with easy-to-read diagrams, and actual fingerings are shown.

There’s nothing better than playing your favorite song on a guitar. In this section, you’ll learn how to play popular chords quickly and correctly, without all the fuss of sheet music.

The first step to becoming a good guitarist is to tune your guitar. To do this, you will need an electronic tuner, which can be bought at most music stores. If you don’t have one, you can always ask a friend or family member who plays the guitar to tune it for you.

Here are some guidelines on how to use an electronic tuner:

– Each string on the guitar has a name: E – A – D – G – B – E (from low to high).

– The tuner will usually pick up the sound from your guitar automatically.

– Tuning your E string is easy because every electronic tuner has an E note built in as a reference point for tuning. To tune your E string, simply pluck it and match it with the E note on the tuner’s display until they sound exactly alike. The display will indicate whether you’re flat (below pitch) or sharp (above pitch).

– Once that string is in tune, move on to the A string (5th fret of the E string). Match

So, you’ve got your guitar and other accessories, but how do you start playing? Well you need to tune your guitar!

Tuning a guitar isn’t too hard – it just takes practice. This guide will help you get started tuning the guitar and show you the most common methods of tuning.

This is the most basic type of tuning. Start by playing the 6th string (the thickest one). Then play the 5th string. The note that sounds when you play the 5th string should be exactly the same as the note that sounded when you played the 6th string. If it is not, adjust the tuning peg for that string until these notes sound exactly alike. It’s best to tune this way in a quite place where you can hear each note well.

Once these two strings are tuned, move on to the 4th string and repeat this process by comparing this note to the 5th string that was tuned with the 6th (just like we did above). Once these are in tune, continue this process with strings 3, 2 and 1 until they all sound in tune with each other. After doing this once or twice it will begin to get easier and become second nature.
