Hey people, welcome to another fingerpicking lesson. Today I am going to show you how to play basic chords on the guitar and how to use them in a simple chord progression.
The chords we are about to learn are simple triads played in open position.
A triad is the most simple chord in music. It is played with the Root note, 3rd, and 5th (also 1 3 5 or I III V). If you know how to play open chords such as C major, G major, E minor, A minor, etc., then you know how to play a triad.
In music, there are two types of triads: Open position and close position.
A triad played in open position leave more space between the notes. On the other hand, the close position has the notes as close together as possible.
This is a simple example with the G major chord.
