Beginner guitar chords

Here some chords for the beginners. These are chords in C major and you can try to play them. To Understand these easy chords, you should also understand how to read a guitar tab

I have also given a brief idea about reading tabs in this post.

When using your fingers to play these chords, you should apply enough pressure on the strings so that when you use your right hand to strum, you should hear the sound. Please note that your fingers should press only the intended string, it should not touch the other string.

When all the strings are pressed with your hand, use your right hand and move your plectrum for strumming. When you do this, you should hear the sound from all the strings. If you can’t, then you’re not pressing your strings to hard or maybe one of your finger is muting another string.
