What Are The Most Important Chords When Playing The Guitar?

Answer 1

Just answered a question like this here what I said:

You can spend a lot of time trying to remember chords, however, the top 15 will get 99% of the songs you will ever play. A,Bb,C,D,E,F,G,Am,A7,B7,D7,Dm,Em,E7,G7. Stick with learning these and the others will come later.

Answer 2

You are at the mature age now to be strong enough to endure the painful fingertips until the calluses arrive. That will be your first hurdle. Endure while you learn the basic chords. Find an instructor, if economically feasable, and develop the good habits in playing. Otherwise, get the book titled, Hal Leonard's Beginning Guitar Method Bood One. Inside are instructions in care, tuning, basic chords, and, most important, basic music theory with accompanying exercises that will build your abilities. Learn how to read and write notation and do not depend upon tablature as the sole means to progress on the guitar. I learned at the age of 16 while in high school, took a year of vocal in which I learned how to read and write music as well as the importance of singing in tune and in harmony. I am still playing at the age of 69. Focus strongly on chords and their progressions, reading notation, learn to transpose, and then play with other guitarists more advanced than you. Becoming a professional guitarist takes years of preparation, study, and preserverance. But you cannot forsake your education in the process. You must graduate high school first. Endure the pain and the learning process; you will be the better for it.

Answer 3

The ones that go with the song you're playing - that's not smart-aleck, just the way it is. There are hundreds of chords for the guitar, find the ones that fit.

Oh, okay, if you must know more . . . E; A; Am; D; G; C; F; B.
That should get you through most songs, just not in that order.

Answer 4

The most important chords, when playing, are the chords you're playing... ;P The ones you're NOT playing have nothing to do with the ones you ARE playing. The ones you ARE playing are the ones you'll hear and others will hear so they would be the ones you would want to consider "the most important". ;)

Any of the major or minor chords. Very frequently used are A, E, G, B
