Acoustic guitar chord is made up of several different notes, which a guitarist will play at one time together. Yet as you will soon discover there are lots of different acoustic guitar chords, but if you are able to learn just the basic ones, then you will be able to play hundreds even thousands of different songs on your guitar. As you will discover some of the major chords have quite a bright sound to them, whilst the minor ones will often make a much darker or sadder one.

The chords that you play on a guitar are notated using chord diagrams and those for the acoustic guitar are similar in ways to guitar tabs. The main difference however being that the lines, which represent the strings on the acoustic guitar, run vertically instead of horizontally. Often when you first look at a chord diagram all you will see before you is a grid.
