They are easy to finger, provide vibrant open voicings and you'll use them throughout your entire guitar playing life. Many epic songs have been written using these simple chords! The beginner guitar chord chart on this page is split into 3 sections, each with easy reference printable chord sheets for your wall or guitar case.

the basic open position chords most guitarists learn
as beginners. They are divided into major, minor, 7th (major 7th
and dominant 7th) and minor 7th chord forms. Don't worry what these
names mean if you're unsure - as time goes on you'll either learn more
about the theory behind their construction or you'll just associate the
names with the sound and shapes they form on the guitar fretboard.Major and minor beginner chord chartDownload the print sheet here (A4)
Major 7th chord chartDownload the print sheet here (A4)Major 7th chords add depth to the basic major chords above. All we're doing is adding an extra note (the major 7th). This means you'll need to alter the fingering slightly to accomodate this new note. Try and see how the major chords above have been modified to create the major 7th chords below.
Dominant 7th chord chartDownload the print sheet here (A4)Like major 7th chords, dominant 7th chords thicken up the basic major chord. When playing the chords in the chart below, experiment with using them in a chord progression, along side standard major/minor chords and major 7th chords.
Minor 7th chord chartDownload the print sheet here (A4)Build on the basic minor chord forms from earlier.
