Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
If you wanna get started real fast, go with A, D and E!. Once you know these three chords, you can play many songs, including:

-Twist and Shout
-Big Yellow Taxi
-American Idiot
-Mustang Salty
-I Feel Good
-La Bamba
-Johnny B Good
- Kiss
-Route 66
-Me and Julio Down in the Schoolyard
-I Am A Rock
-Summertime Blues
-Great Balls of Fire
-Baby's In Black
-Wild Thing
-Roll Over Beethoven
-Blue Suede Shoes
-Tutti Frutti
-Teddy Bear
-It's So Easy
-All Shook Up
-I Can't Get No Satisfaction
-Jailhouse Rock
-Good Golly Miss Molly
and many, many more!.!.!.

After that, you'll want C, G and Em (E minor)!. After that, to take your mad skillz over the top, learn the powerchord fingerings (a fingering which can play ANY chord, depending on which frets you start on - usually used by electric guitarists)!. This will allow you to play weird chords, for example Abm, with minimal thinking!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

If you take the scale!.!.!. say the key of "C"!. a scale would be C,D,E,F,G,A,B,then back to C and octave higher!. So the CHORDS \in the key of C would PROBABLY be the 1st, 4th and 5th notes of the scale!. So a typical song in C would have you play the chords, C, F and G7!.
this works in any key!. G,A,B,C,D,E,F,G key of G you play the chords G, C & D7Www@QuestionHome@Com

I started with the D major A Major and G major chords you can find them posted in Tab pages online!. Learn where to put your fingers and strum for each chord then teach yourself how to move freely between each chord with lots of practice!. It wont be long till you sound like you know what you're doing!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I'd go with G, D, C then you can strum the basics for Knockin' On Heavens door and get the satisfaction of a song!. They're also amongst the simplestWww@QuestionHome@Com

If you can learn C; D; D7;A;A7; Em and G you can play about 90 percent of all the popular songs ever writtenWww@QuestionHome@Com

i think easy one Dmajor
and another on E Minor

keep changing then add 1 chord at a time
