Hi Daniel!
I am learning how to play the major and minor chords and I came across this article and another article titled "List of Major and Minor Chords".

Can I know what is the difference between these 2 articles ( cos I saw that the strings are played on different frets for some chords), and which one am I recommended to learn first if I am a total beginner?

Hi Lizhen,

I came up with these 2 posts so that people could come and look at how to play the chords if they need to.

The difference is that one post is on major and minor chords, the other is on major 7s and minor 7s chords.

I would suggest to concentrate on the major and minor chords. Think of the 7s more as adding flavour to your music. So, learn the major and minor chords first.

Hope it helps!
