What's your favorite chord out of the "8 Essential Beginner Chords"? and why its G? 😁

[RenanRischiotto]

Hi! So, what’s your “favorite” beginner chord? As if you have to listen to only that chord forever? I’m sure it’s G, I mean, there’s no thinking about it . I like the G chord because of its beautiful sound . Four fingers grip or the three fingers grip with fingers 2, 3, 4 (finger 2 muting the A string).

• A
• D
• E
• Am
• Em
• Dm
• C
• G

I’m sure it’s G

It’s A.
Which is G barred, up two frets.

If I had to listen to one chord forever. Myself. I’d stop listening due to boredom.

Reason for ‘A’ is I can play it with one finger.
Or two, or three, or 4 fingers. I find it a versatile chord.

I really liked A when I was a beginner because of how you can anchor to switch to E and D.
I really like E and Am also since they lead to learning F and a bunch of other barred chords with the same shape

[sequences]

None of the above. If it doesn’t have a 7 in it, it isn’t in the running for any kind of favorite.

[MarkPeters]

None of the above for me, either. Here’s my favourite in tab:

-1-
-0-
-3-
-1-
-0-
-0-

Read the question guys. The OP wants to know your favourite from the 8 essential beginner chords.

[Boris1565]

C open. Somehow my brain really likes fingers 1, 2, 3 nicely in line (order).

[RenanRischiotto]

Guys, don’t take this too serious, it’s just to have fun, enjoy

[Svoisine]

Bm is definately the best chord!

[Ontime]

I like the C chord as well.

With D as my runner up.

[RenanRischiotto]

@Ontime

runner up.

New english expression learned

[tony]

Just wait till you discover B7. Yeah, it’s not one of the 8, but OMG it is magical

[Ontime]

You are going to really trip when you start learning and then using the different sus and add notes.

They turn things into magic.

I am a big fan of G - it is quite versatile. I also love an Em

[RenanRischiotto]

I forgot to tell the reason that I like the G chord and it’s the beautiful sound

[Coda]

It may be G for me, as long as I play it like this:
10
10
9
0
8
10
i.e. normal C-shape fingering with the E string fretted…
Highly recommended

[Boris1565]

How is this G chord, Tomasz? Did you reverse the tab notation?

I read the two 10s which are next to each other as high E and B strings, but they should be Low E and A strings?

[Coda]

E 10
A 10
D 9
G 0
B 8
E 10
Like I said: a regular C shape with the low E string fretted. Sorry for the confusion; indeed the notation can be considered reversed.

[Boris1565]

Thank you Tomasz. How do you fret low E string? Ring finger plays both A and low E strings?

[Nancy15]

Definitely the four fingered G for me
