A Minor 7 And C Major Chords
Learn How To Play The A Minor 7 And C Major 7 Guitar Chords!
Ok, you have learned your G major and D major chords! Now you need to learn two more chords to be able to play through the chord progression in the next lesson. In this guitar lesson you will be learning how to play an A minor 7 chord and a C major chord. Once you have these two chords down you will be ready to move on to the actual lessons where you will be learning how to play the song. Here are the two chord diagrams for the A minor 7 and C major chords.
Make sure that you have these chords down cold because in the next lesson we will put them together with the G and D chord that you learned in the last lesson. Changing form chord to chord smoothly can be challenging so make sure you have these shapes down before moving on to the next lesson.
Your beginners lessons are cool in that they are made easy to follow and I am sure many will benefit from them like me.
ya, u r ryt…….
yeah. I learned ukelele first, so learning guitar on my own is a bit of a problem-until I googled for guitar lessons and found this site. I want to say that its GREAT and thanks Nate for your time
nate is teaching guitar very well
Yo ubeginner lessons are great I really appreciate you taking the time to share with all of us. Thanks
thank you for sharing your knowledge!
I’ve learned a lot
you have really really taught the chords really well, for once i feel i can do it… awesome Nate… you are truly the best
First I would like to commend you on giving your time to help all of us beginners. My question is I have been trying to learn certain chords which are frustrating two are chord b flat major and chord f major the chord f major requires me to cover the 5th and 6th strings while i am also covering the 1st string and the chord b flat major reqiures me to stretch what seems to be humanly impossible. My question is am i trying too hard of a chord for just being a beginner? I am 47 and the desire to play is so overwhelming but the frustration is killing me it feels like I am wearing boxing gloves
Hey Tommy,
I think diving into chords like this even as a beginner is good. It may take you a while to get them sounding good but they will eventually. You might want to only tackle the challenge of building up the strength in your index finger first before taking on the entire chord. Try to get a nice clean sound out of your bar with your 1st finger on all 6 strings!
know how you feel. I first picked up a guitar about 9 years ago, the frustration and too much hard work caused me to give up. This time I feel ready. Ive only learned 2 chords so far, d major and g major. However I feel confident now. Before the pain was too much, now I hardly notice it at all! My worst frustration was changing from chords quickly, I would take my fingers off a chord and pause, thinkinng where to place my fingers for the next chord. Now I continue strumming during transition and picture in my head the next chord shape-it sounds a lot better with no pause and has given more confidence to continue. Im just about to check out the next 2 chords. Good luck
first time it will b painful. bt aftr practising hard it’s really seems so easy……
These videos are a lot better compred to my first act lessons. Thanks Nate
nice lessons nate now i will practice the chord after that will learn the song
This might be a dumb question, but what are the diagrams in the text, below the video? Those are different than the diagrams in the actual video…right?
no, they r the same. those r just the chords that were played. they help u practice duh
Those r the same chords that was on the video duhhhhhhhhh
@attempt1 those diagrams are the chords he is playing it may look different but they are the same chords
you are seriously the only person I’m able to understand when it comes to being taught to play guitar. thanks bro. (:
thank you, this is helping so much, i can actually understand you(:
your teaching method is great ,really helpful…many thanks
this is AWESOME i love C cord
this is awesome im actually learning to play guitar yay B)
Wow! These lessons are very helpful. I’ve tried lessons in person and it just did not click with me. You make this so easy and understandable.
One question, I would like to clarify what I believe Attempt1 was saying. The chord charts in the lesson and the chord charts below the video are slightly different. I’ve noticed this difference in other chord charts. The “zeros” are either filled in or empty. Why the difference?
Thanks again. This is so fun.
Hi, is there an alternate way to play the c Major 7 chord. My hands hurts so bad when i try putting my third finger on the 5th string on the third fret. And i think i twisted my wrist too
. Is there an alternate way or can i do without the c major chord. Not a huge fan of that chord right now.
twist your wrist like your holding a barbell in the bicep curl position
hi nate, i’m from malaysia. a guitar beginner… just bought my very first acoustic guitar two days ago! came cross this site when i “suddenly” had the urge of learning guitar.. and after browsing a few videos here, i decided to self-learn, not to attend classes. your lessons have been really helpful. thank you so much
While my thought of playing music is to turn on the satellite radio in the van, I decided to take up something i’ve always wanted to do. So far, I can tell i’ve got to get some length transplanted to my fingers. I haven’t had much luck in making the connection with the fingers as shown. (ain’t gonna give up, though) Thanks for the time and effort of explaining so this 61 yr can understand it.
Erm. Well, my Am7 sounds quite depressing, and my D chord is not up to par. My other chords sound great, but some are not turning out well. Maybe I need a new guitar? The strings are perfectly normal and my guitar is also in tune. I don’t know what else to do.. By the way, the lessons are amazing.. Thanks ^^
My C chord sounds depressing too.. Maybe it’s just me..
Maybe you need to check the neck of your guitar or the frets? I’m not sure, I’m no pro like nate. But there are some factors you can consider that can affect the sound coming out.
Man you really are a great teacher
Your a great teacher for once I feel like I can do it and I’m not sitting for hours on end in my room practicing 4stinkin cords , thanks so much

i really like this tutorial
AMAZING SITE!!!! GREAT LESSONS
Hi Nate, thanks for this wonderful site.
I’m not a beginner and I can’t say I’m amateur, because there are parts in all these lessons that I know a bit of and some not. But as not having a clear ground on guitars. I’m starting off as a beginner in all these lessons ( except for the tuning and such, haha ). As it’s the only musical instrument I have available now (the guitar). I wanna pursue on it. Yes, I’m a drummer, but without a band, and it’s nearly hard to find one for me, for some personal reasons ofc. And I’d like to share with you my heartfelt gratitude for having this site available. One can find it here mostly everything he needs to start off his grounds. And what not, it’s free, and it’s easy.
And then again, thank you so much Nate. Keep it up. May the force be with you( yea, I’m still a bit teen lol).
Nate Savage You’re great man

Thanks Nate
Hello!
I just want to thank you about your lessons. I know many things thanks to you. But when I play the 2 chords, i see no difference. Is this normal, because im left handed & play with normal strings, i mean they are EADGBE, but they are supposed to be EBGDAE. does this make me think there is no difference between A minor & C major?
there is a difference . at first thats what i thought you will here it eventually.
Thanks Nate, your videos help a lot.
