Chords, in my opinion, and understanding of music are various notes played together systematically of progressively. Often, Tri Chords are played on the Guitar. They are what make us have an appreciation for music. The basic open chords of a Guitar are C, C7, D, D7, Dm, E, E7, Em, G, G7, B7, A, A7, and Am.
