The order of open notes from top to bottom or from the thickest string to the thinnest string is E, A, D, G, B, E. When different frets are pressed in different strings they give various notes.

When you learn guitar chords you will find that there are major, minor, and seventh chords. Each chord should be played by placing particular fingers on the specific frets of the correct string.

 

The many basic chords to learn are A, C, G, and D. These chords are smooth to learn as they are open. In an open chord at least one string is not pressed down by the finger. 

 

For instance, A major guitar chord takes place entirely on the second fret. G major chord takes place on the 2nd and 3rd frets. Similarly other major chords take place on many frets. These chords can be found on the cyberspace or any book on guitar chords. There are many website on the Intenet with video demonstrations, so you can easily figure out the techniques used for playing.

 

It takes a lot of practice to learn guitar chords. It might not be easy to play vocals at first since they contain many chords which demand to be changed rapidly. To overcome this try learning a few chords and changing between them slowly at first and then with increasing speed. Once you learn guitar chords you will be able to play many vocals with ease.
