Beginner Guitar - C Major Chord Shape
In this exercise, we practice the C Major chord in the 1st hand position.
C major’s ‘relative’ is A minor.
Both the C major and A minor chord anchor the pointer finger on the B string, 1st fret,
And to change from one chord to the other you just move your middle and ring fingers.
This C shape can be modified to make it more moveable, but its awkward, so guitarists just find another way to make the sound they want to hear.
This C chord is 1 of the 3 critical components to the so-called “3 chord trick” or “3 chord song”,
The other 2 chords being G and D.
Mastering this chord is a milestone in your guitar development, because it indicates that you are able to articulate 3 fingers, and fret 3 notes, at the same time.
Considering that we started these guitar lessons practicing to master playing just 1 note, with just 1 finger...
Soon, after you have mastered the G and D chords, and are able to transition between the GCD chords, you will be ready to try and play songs,
and will be moving from beginner guitar to intermediate guitar.
