These are the basic open position chords most guitarists learnas beginners. They are divided into triads, major 7th, dominant 7th andminor 7th chord forms.
Don'tworry about what thesenames mean right now - as time goes on you'll either learn moreabout the theory behind their construction or you'll just learn toassociate the chordnames with their sound and the shapes they form on the guitar fretboard.
The Xon the charts means don't playthat string!
Major and Minor Open Chords
Also known as major and minor triads,because they only contain threenotes.
For example, even though the E major chord uses allsix strings, the only notes contained within the shape are E, B and G♯.
So notes in a chord shape may appear on multiple strings (for example, inE major, the note E appears three times - on the 6th, 4th and 1st string).
Note: We call these chord shapes 'open' or 'open position' because they include unfretted (open) strings.
Major 7th Open Chords
Major 7th (maj7 for short) chords add a little depth to the basic major triads above.

All we'redoingis adding an extra note (called the major 7th), giving us four notechords (triad + an extra note). This means you'll need toalter the fingering slightly to accommodate this new note.
Try and seehow the major chords above have been modified to create the major 7thchords below. It's just one note/fret difference.
Dominant 7th Chords

Likemajor 7th chords, four-note dominant 7th chords (indicated by a 7 after the chord letter) thicken up the basicmajor chord sound.
When playing the chords in the chart below, experiment with using themin a chord progression, along side standard major/minor chords andmajor 7th chords. Variety is a good thing!
Minor 7th Chords
Four-note minor chords built onthe basic minor triad chord forms from earlier.
The added (7th) tone is exactly the same as with dominant 7th chords, we're just adding it to minor chords this time, which gives them more colour.
Practicing These Chords
I know I've given you quite a lot of chords to learn, but I hope it'll encourage you to experiment with different chord combinations and create your own songs.
- Try replacing regular major chords with major 7th or dominant 7th chords.
- Try replacing regular minor chords with minor 7th chords.
- Remember you can also change between the chord types on the same root (e.g. Cmaj > Cmaj7 > C7 > Cmaj7)
- Trust your ears - if it sounds good, it is!
- Try both strumming and picking (one note at a time) these chords.
