There are your basic chords...try them out and have fun!

* the C,F, and G7 chords are the most popular in modern songs...so the sooner you master those three, along with the rest of the intro chords, the sooner you'll be able to play actual songs!!! good luck!!!

After you master these chords...if you want more chords send me an e-mail and I'll get you what you need...also after you master these chords' can give you bar chords which are great for playing rock/heavy metal.

Personally I play mostly rock/heavy metal so I'm going to give you a few parts to some tabs to play around with...note that these are not full tabs...just small parts from songs...you should know what it is when you here it
