Most of these chords are super beginner-friendly, like D, G, Em, and A. Bm pops up a lot, which is a common barre chord, so take your time getting comfortable with it. Practice switching between open and barre shapes smoothly. If D/F# is new for you, just use your thumb or finger to grab that low F# note. Have fun and keep it relaxed!
