Although there is quite a list of guitar chords that a guitarist will need to learn and memorize, of that list of guitar chords there are some notes that are more common than others in certain songs. When you are getting started you should choose an easy guitar song with only a short list of guitar chords to start with.

Most new guitar players agree that changing between chords is the most challenging part of learning to play the guitar in the beginning.

To help yourself along with learning to play your instrument you should use a song with a short list of guitar chords just so you can practice changing chords before you jump into a song with a long list of guitar chords in it that requires you to transition from one chord to another quickly and frequently. When you are just learning biting off more than you can chew so to speak can be really discouraging.

To foster your desire to play the guitar you should try setting small goals, then working toward them until you are 100% confident in that skill before increasing the difficulty level of your goal. Taking our learning one step a a time like this will increase the likelihood that you will continue to love your guitar and your new hobby.

Learning a short list of chords at a time is a great way to get used of moving your hands as quickly or slowly as you will need to for your song, and to help you get used of holding your guitar properly.
