Guitar Websites
Discussion
Hi All,
After walking down Denmark Street in London and all of it's guitar shops on a daily basis I finally caved in and bought my first guitar about 4 months ago
Does anyone know if there are any websites where you can enter the chords you've already learnt and it suggests other songs that you could play with those chords?
I would have thought that there would be lots of websites like this but haven't seen any.
Cheers!

I second that. His lessons are the best I've come across. Better than the live tutors I've had even, which probably says as much about my choice of tutors as it does about JustinEDIT:
Oh, that's a great idea for a website BTW, OP. You might want to register that!

There's loads of sites with guitar chords/tab.
Many/most songs don't particularly use that many challenging chords, especially where "pop" music is concerned. Best find a few of your fav songs and see if any of them have simple chord progressions and try those.
You could also try playing some songs in a different key that matches the chords you know. Or get a capo to change the chords you do know into the key that the song is in. Experimenting is part of the fun and the journey of learning the guitar.
My advise would be to learn the main chords(A,Bb,B,C,C#,D,Eb,E,F,F#,G,G#) in both major and minor form. Don't worry too much about other types at this stage (e.g. your 7th, 13ths etc...) Depending on the guitar and how easy you are finding it as you whether you use open or bar chords (and/or a mixture of them over time). Bar chords may be easier to learn as you just move up or down frets to get the chord. Open chords, imo, often sound better for many chords but harder to learn as a fair bit more hand shapes you need to learn.
good luck.
