Most of these chords are beginner-friendly, like G, C, D, Em, and Am, so you’ll have an easy time if you know your open shapes. Watch out for G/B and D/F#—they’re just G and D chords with a different bass note, so try using your thumb or fingers to fret the bass note. Practice smooth transitions for a clean sound!
