Thanks for watching my video: "Easy Guitar Chords For Beginners - 4 Easy Chords To Get You Started". I hope you found it helpful and informative.

As I said, I'm not claiming that you're now ready to play the guitar after just watching the video. Instead, I really encourage you to hop over onto my website and check out the article that I referred to. From there, you will find tons of links to more easy guitar songs chords and alike. Here you go:

Well, we all like things to be easy and the same is true for learning to play the guitar. People ask me all the time - mostly those folks who are not sure yet if they actually want to invest all the time to really learn how to play the instrument - to just show them a few super easy chords for guitar, just to give them idea if this is something they want to take to the next level. And that's exactly what I tried to do in this video. Not necessarily so that you can prance around now and tell everybody you can play guitar, but rather to give you an idea and hopefully to get you motivated so that you want to learn more.

One thing I need to point out which is dear to my heart. Yes, I showed you a bunch of relatively simple chords, but that doesn't mean you should be rushing and be sloppy. Remember what I emphasized in the video - make sure the fingers come on to the strings and the fretboard in an almost 90-degree angle. You don't want your fingers lying flat on the strings, otherwise the chord won't sound right. Playing easy chords on guitar is one thing, but you still need to make sure that they sound decent.

Alright, just to recap, I showed you how to play (or even make up) easy chords songs on guitar by just using the handful of chords we discussed in the video (D-Major, E-Minor, E-Major, G-Major and A-Major). Use simple down strokes in the beginning and start slowly. Once you feel comfortable changing from one chord to the next, you can slowly increase the speed of your strokes. 

For the sake of keeping the video reasonably short, I only demonstrated one out of many easy guitar chords songs that you can play with 2 or 3 chords only. There are tons of them. Add a couple of more chords and you can play tunes like "Hello" by Adele.
Now, the question is, what it next for you? Is this enough or do you want to learn more. If the answer is yes, then we need to figure out for you to learn more strumming patterns and guitar chords easy and ideally for free, I guess (right?). Well, as mentioned, my Beginners Guitar Course might come in handy for that. But if you don't like my teaching style, no worries, just follow the link above and I'd be glad to refer you to other teachers who have excellent online programs as either free or paid-for options. 

Good, again, I hope there was value in the video for you. The goal was just to show you a few very simple and easy beginner guitar chords. But as I said, this shouldn't be the end of the road for you. I hope I got you a little bit motivated to take your guitar playing to the next level.
