    The classic D-A-G-A or G-D-Em-C progression. Lots of songs use that chord configuration, and they are relatively easy to play (except maybe the G chord if you are a total beginner).

        Here you go - DAGA:

        An X aong the top means don’t play this string for this chord. A circle means play this string without any fingers on the frets. And obviously a numbered circle on a fret means put that finger in this spot.

        It’s fairly simple to do those chords (and I suck at guitar, seriously), and they sound nice.

        Hope that helps and you don’t chuck your guitar :-)

        EDIT - just realised that that’s not even how I play G or A - same fret holds but I use different fingers for them.

          Yeah, that’s a really weird way to finger a G major. I will play it with my second finger on the third fret of low E, first finger on the second fret of A, third finger barred across B and high E at third fret. If I’m playing a song that requires certain chord changes (like the way Wonderwall drops from G major to a G/F# to an Em7 to a Dsus to an A7sus) I will use third and fourth finger on the high strings instead of the barre because it’s easier to move the root notes around that way.

          I can only hold the first 3 strings, the thick ones correctly, the lower ones are impossible to use for me

            Keep trying! You can do it, it just takes time and it very likely won’t click in an evening.

            Practice that change super slow going from a G chord to a D chord. Four strums on each chord, taking as much time as you need to make them sound as good as you can. It will sound bad for a little while, but eventually, you will do it perfectly, and you will do it perfectly again and again and again until doing it wrong is more difficult than doing it well.

            Keep at it, you will do it!

              Sounds bad, muted and I can’t keep the form, the fact is a small cheap guitar doesn’t help

                Are you pressing hard enough on the strings?

                Is this a problem even if you’re just playing that one string?

                Feel free to share a recording of it. Might help to diagnose the issue.

                  I need a easy song without chords, just a single string and just the first 2 strings. The lower ones are a bitch.
