hey guitar enthusiast Lauren Bateman here and in this video we're gonna go
over chords that sound good together on the guitar and now this doesn't just
qualify for guitar this is any instrument at all whether it be piano
ukulele whatever but what I'm gonna do in this video is I'm going to go over
four categories or families of chords which we call keys and music that sound
good together and these are going to be the top four that I think all beginners
on guitar should learn now some of these are gonna have Barre chords but don't
let that deter you because I have easy fixes to all of these Barre chords on my
website so even if you're still a beginner and don't know how to play
Barre chords you'll be perfectly fine so let's get into the four keys I recommend
learning for beginner guitarists so essentially in music we have what we
call keys they're basically families of chords that sound very good together so
the first one we're going to go over is the key of G and I'm going to tell you
five chords that you'll find in most of today's popular music so that's gonna be
a G major chord followed by a C major chord a D major chord E minor and a
minor so those are the five chords let me go through that again so it's gonna
be G major C major D major E minor and a minor so those are the five chords you
can use in the key of G that will sound really good together
no matter what or do you play them in pretty cool huh
so there you go so that is the key of G the next key we're going to talk about
is the key of C so the chords you would play would be the C chord
the F chord which is one of our power chords the G chord the D minor chord and
the a minor chord so again if I play any one of those chords C to F to G
two D minor to a mire they all sound like they get along very well and they
do because they're in the same key so the next one we're going to talk about
is the key of D so the next key is D so we're gonna have a D major chord a G
major chord the a major chord the E minor chord and the B minor chord which
is another one of our Barre chords now there's other chords that are part of
these keys keys are usually seven chords I'm just giving you the five most common
ones that you'll probably find in songs and if you go to my website Lauren
Bateman calm you'll probably see that there is a repetition of these chords
over and over and over again so let's do our final key that I recommend learning
for beginner now why do we go recommending these keys if you've
noticed so far what we've done before we get into this a major key all of the
major chords are open meaning we don't have any Barre chords so we have G C D D
G a and this next one we're gonna have a major D major E major followed by B
minor and f-sharp minor so those are the five
chords for that key all those sound really really good together so what you
can do if you're worried about these Barre chords that I showed you can hop
over to my website Lauren Bateman comm and check out some of the easy fixes for
these Barre chords you can also check out one of my youtube videos for easy
bar chord fixes and basically just to give you an example so instead of
playing a full Barre chord for F we can always play F major seven that is an
option it works it'll sound a little bit different but it'll work for all of the
songs so there you go those are the four keys that I recommend all beginner
guitar players learn and the associated chords that sound good with them so you
hop on over to my website and check out some of the songs or check out some of
the songs in my youtube page and you'll see that I use a lot of these same
chords over and over and over again hope you guys enjoyed the lesson leave me a
