Original Question

Most played GUITAR chords?
Q. Can someone please write down on here what the most played guitar chords are as I don't want to have to learn ALL of them, just the one's I'm most likely to use in most songs. Learning by myself and getting better and better all the time. Thanx!!!
Ok thanks for the answers so far. Here are the chords I already know: A B C D E F G Am Bm Dm Em Fm A7 B7 C7 D7 E7 G7 Bb Am6 Adim7 A7sus Asus Aaug I'm thinking some of the latter one's I'm not going to see in many songs. What I'm looking for are the one's I don't know already that I should know. Also having a hell of a time doing full Barre chords. I can do 2 and 3 string barre chords but the tough one's are... tough. Thanks

A. Well, you seemed to list all the most common open Major and Minor chords already. Really almost all songs on the radio and popular songs are played in the Key of C, G, D, F, E, or A. Sometimes B flat too. What I would recommend for you is to learn how chords are constructed and that way you can find them yourself. There are millions of chords out there and you have the basic ones down....it would take way too long to try and show all the different types of C, like Cadd9, Csus2, CMaj7.

So here's a quick lesson on Music Theory. I'm going to make the assumption that you already know the notes of all the open strings.

1. Every song is played in a Key. This Key will determine what chords you can use in that song. For Example...Let's take the Key of G (very common Key). Sweet Home Alabama, Time of Your Life, Collide all these are played in the Key of G.

Next figure out what notes can be played in the Key of G Major. The formula for this is whole step, whole step, half step, whole step, whole step, whole step, half step. Imagine a Keyboard or Piano....each White Key and Black Key are a half step. Black Keys are sharp and white keys are normal.

The Key of G Major Notes are:
G A B C D E F# G
G to A is a whole step (if you took a half-step that would give you G#). A to B is a whole step. B to C is a half step. C to D is a whole step. D to E is a whole step. E to F is a whole step. And F# to G is a half step.

2. Next figure out what chords you can play in that Key. The basic formula is that the I, IV, and V notes are majors. The ii, iii, and vi notes are minor chords.

So we know the 1st Note (G) can be played as Major Chord. The 4th Note (C) can played as Major Chord. The 5th Note (D) can be played as a Major Chord. The 2nd Note (A) is a Minor Chord. The 3rd Note (B) is a Minor Chord. And the 6th Note (E) is a Minor Chord. The 7th Note can be played as a diminished chord (this chord is hard to work with).

3. Now we can break down how to play the chords. So we know that the 1st Note (G) is a major chord. The Major Chord formula is 1, Major 3rd, and 5th Note. So we just take the 1st Note, Major 3rd Note, and 5th Note of the G-Major Scale to get the chord. With that formula we get a G, B, and D. And that is exactly a G-Major Chord.
G Major Chord

E - 3 (3rd Fret on the High E = G)
B - 0
G - 0
D - 0
A - 2 (2nd Fret on the A = B)
E - 3 (3rd Fret on the low E = G)

So basically that is the basic G Major Chord. All we did, was changed any notes that weren't a G, B, or D, and changed them into a G, B, or D. Now all 6 strings play either a G, B, or D. And that's how you make a chord.

4. Modifications. So let's say you want to play a G-Maj7th. All you do, is take the G-Major Formula and add the 7th Note to it. So now we have G, B, D, and F#. So just play the 2nd frent on the high E, instead of the 3rd fret and there's your GMaj-7th.

5. Different placements. Now that you are learning all these chords. Realize that you can play the same chords at different places of the guitar. Let's stay with the G-Major Chord.

E - 3 (G) 3 (G) 10 (D)
B - 0 (B) 3 (D) 12 (B)
G - 0 (G) 4 (B) 12 (G)
D - 0 (D) 5 (G) 12 (D)
A - 2 (B) 5 (D) 10 (G)
E - 3 (G) 3 (G) x (mute)

Those are all 3 G Major Chords. The last two are barr chords. Those are all essentially the same chord. They all contain the G, B, D notes to form a G-Major. But since the sequence order is different, and the positions are different, they all sound like a G-Major, but do sound a little different.

I know I might of lost you there. But, if you can figure this stuff out, it will take your music to a new level. Also here's a link to a chord dictionary, that will help you find all the chords you are looking for.

Original Question

Does all the minor and major chords have sharps/Piano?
Q. I know the c major doesnt and another one, but besides that I guess everyother chord has sharps in it? How do I play a Csharp minor chord with other major chords etc.

A. There are various major and minor chords which don't contain sharps or flats, because although there may be sharps and flats in the key signature, the actual key chord doesn't use those notes -
C major chord
D minor chord
E minor chord
F major chord
G major chord
A minor chord
