More often than not in almost any song that has been written in the known history of music you will notice a progression of three guitar chords, or sometimes five guitar chords. There is a theory among musicians and music writers that there are certain guitar chords that just sound right, or really good when they are played together or one after the other.

This theory of three guitar chords, or chords of any kind really was evident as far back as the Elizabethan era. The sound of combining guitar chords into a melody is often referred to as creating harmony.

No matter how you combine your guitar chords with the rhythm, when you are familiar with and better understand chord progression you are bound to make great music. There are lessons available on the three chord progression theory exclusively because it truly is that popular and that common. The majority of pop, rock, and even country artists write their music around this very theory.

Once you learn the guitar chords you will be able to start putting them together in harmony, and that's the key to learning to play the guitar, whether its an acoustic, or electric the same principles apply.

Turning plain guitar chords into music takes practice but with the right kind of training you could be playing a song from beginning to end on your own in a matter of hours. Music is an art, and like all other art it takes time and the right inspiration to create a masterpiece.
