Here is what I have been studing. The positions on the guitar.
The name of the positons is determined by the fret the first finger covers: across the first fret is the 1st position, 2nd fret is second postion, etc.
Positions are used to reach higher notes, facicilitate technical passages. Chords not possible without the positions

SCALES IN 1ST POSITIONS
You are in 1st positon when the 1st finger is placed across first fret.

if you play the major scale in the frist position the results are

1st string (E), 2nd string (, 2rd string (G), 4th string (D) 5th string (A) 6th string (E)
This is what I am practicing now.

I didnt get the pictures of the rifts to come out. But will later I am beginning to learn the guitar as this is on my list to do in my lifetime.

Here are some basic open chords for you to play. This chart is by no means a complete chord chart, just some common chords to get the beginner guitar players playing something. I will be adding new chords to this page as I have time. Learning how to create and understand chords will be covered in the advanced section of the lessons and is recommended to come after learning scales.

The yellow dot denotes the root note of the chord. Strings without a dot are not played.
