Did you know that the guitar is one of the very few instruments thatcan play chords? Most instruments, like trumpets and clarinets, can only play a single note at a time. The ability to play chords is one of the reasons the guitar is such a popular instrument.

How to play chords is one of the very first things a guitar student learns, but learning to play them can be quite difficult at first. At Guitar Alliance we've put together a beginner course called "Guitar Chords 101" that will help you learn about chords on guitar and how to play the basic chords. It's sure to set you on your way to learning how to play guitar chords.
