Hi, this is Darrin Koltow, webmaster of MaximumMusician.com and author of a digital (non-print) book you might like, Guitar Chords. As helpful as Guitar Chords might be to you, you might not be ready for your personal copy right now. Instead, play through these quick chord tips from MaximumMusician.com.


Tip 1:
Play a blues in C:

Strum C7 8 times.
Strum F7 4 times.
Strum C7 again 4 times.
Strum G7 twice, then F7 twice.
Strum C7 twice, then G7 twice.
Repeat, starting from `Strum C7 8 times.`

Tired of playing in C? Here are blues for keys F and G.

Blues in F:

F7 (8), Bb7(4), F7(4), C7(2)
Bb7(2), F7(2), C7(2), repeat

Blues in G:

G7 (8), C7(4), G7(4), D7(2)
C7(2), G7(2), D7(2), repeat

Tip 2:
To make a happy song sound sad, replace major chords with minor chords two letter names down. Examples:

Instead of G major, play E minor. (Count, `G, one; F, two; E, *three*)
Instead of C major, play A minor. (Count, `C, one; B, two; A, *three*)
Instead of F major, play D minor. (Count, `F, one; E, two; D, *three*)

Tip 3:
Break away from the same major key to play a minor progression. Strum each of these twice:

Am, G, F, E7, repeat

Tip 4:
To put chords to a melody: work out the key center for the melody, and try out the first, second, and fifth chords from that key center; select the chord that sounds best. Example: if the melody is in C major, sing while you play the C (the first), Dm (the second), and G7 (the fifth) chords with your voice. Pick the chord that sounds best.
