The easy C major chord using the G, B, and high E strings is also simple for beginners. Lets start with an easy 1 finger voicing first. Scroll down for the two finger voicing shown in the video!

Place your index finger on the 1st fret of the B string (second string). Let the high E string (thinnest string) and G string (third string) ring open without pressing any frets. Strum only these three strings (G, B, and E) together. This creates a light version of the C major chord, using fewer fingers than the full version, making it easier to play while still sounding pleasant. Practice this to build finger strength and coordination!

For more of a fully sound, place your middle finger on the 2nd fret of the D string (fourth string) and your index finger on the 1st fret of the B string (second string). Let the G string (third string) and high E string (thinnest string) ring open.

Strum only the D, G, B, and high E strings together. This two-finger version of the C major chord adds a bit more depth while still being simple to play. It’s a great next step for building finger dexterity and getting used to chord shapes!
