Quick tip: Most of these chords are beginner-friendly, especially A minor, C, Dm, G, F, and Em. Watch out for E7 and F#m7b5, which can be a bit tricky, and Abdim, which is less common. Practice smooth transitions between Am, G, and F, since they come up a lot. Take your time with the barre shapes if you’re new to them!
