15 chords every beginner starts with · standard tuning E A D G B e
Built as a memo rather than a table: the thing worth hanging it up for reads across the room, with the full reference in smaller type below it.
Three sizes in one archive — from a sheet on the fridge to a poster on the wall.
× muted string · ○ open · numbers are left-hand fingers · thick top line is the nut
The barre F is where most beginners quit. Don’t fight it: in the vast majority of songs Fmaj7 works instead.
Same chord without the barre — three fingers, top string open. Nobody will hear the difference.
Come back to the barre in a month, once your hand is stronger. It’ll simply work.
Why the numbers can be trusted. Every countable number here is computed from data rather than typed in, and the sheet must pass 4 independent checks before it is allowed to build — how many items there are, the order they come in, and the claim in the highlighted box itself. If one fails, there is no file.
