Question: Guitar- Any suggestions on how to memorise chords!?
I learn guitar, and I've been taught G, Em, C, D, and A!.

I think I'm going to find it difficult to memorise these!. Does anyone have any suggestions, or know any ways of memorising the structure of these chords!?Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you finger the chord!.
then you pick up yer fingers
put them back on fingering that same chord!.
do that over and over!.
so your fingers get use to it and you start to memorize it!.
i hope that helps!. ;]Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can learn lots of chords but your learning needs some structure!.

All of the chords you have learnt so far "go" with each other and you would find them in combination (as chord progressions) in many songs!.

You could do 3 things:

1!. Transcribe the chords to a different key and play the new chord progression that you find!.

2!. Learn some bar/barre chords to expand your playing with different sounds!.

3!. Explore the CAGED system!.
