Do you really want to learn a familiar song on the guitar? You asked a friend to write you words, and he did even more, wrote you not entirely clear Latin notation. Try to figure out what chords they represent and how to play them on the guitar.

Step 1
Remember the Latin notation. Each of them corresponds to a specific sound. The letter A denotes the sound la, B - si-flat, H - si, C- to, and then everything goes alphabetically. Major triads are denoted by letters without any designations. The major triad is built at specific intervals. For example, the C major triad consists of C, E, and G. Between the sounds C and E - 2 tones, they also make up 4 semitones. If you look at the guitar, you need to count 4 frets from the original sound, including the original sound itself. Between the sounds E and G - 1, 5 tones, that is, 3 semitones. If the E sound is on the open first string, then the G sound will be at the 3rd fret.
Step 2
Think about how your guitar is built. The 6-string and 7-string guitars have different tunings, so the arrangement of the chords will be different. Find the simple major chord you want in the recording and try to find the sounds included in it on different strings. On guitar, the same chord can be played in different positions, so choose the chord variation that works best for you. Check your invention against the chord chart. There you will be offered all possible variations of the given chord. Try them all.
Step 3
After you figure out a simple major chord, calculate a simple minor chord. It is also built at certain intervals. There is a distance of 1.5 tones between the first and second sounds, and 2 tones between the second and third. Build a simple minor chord from an A sound. At a distance of one and a half tones from it, there is a sound to, and at a distance of two tones from a sound to, there are sounds. Build several minor chords in this way and check them against the table. A minor chord is denoted by the letter m next to a capital letter - Cm, Am, and so on.
Step 4
Next to the Latin letter there may be not only small letters, but also numbers - C7, Cm7 and others. For example, the designation Cmaj means that a sound is added to the main chord, which is in relation to the main chord at a certain degree. In this case, the seventh. Calculate which sound will be the seventh step in relation to the sound before. This will be a B sound, and the chord is called a major major seventh chord. If after the letter there is a number 7, then it denotes the dominant seventh chord. It is very similar to a major major seventh chord, only the last sound will be one semitone lower. In this case, it will be B flat.
Step 5
Consider a few more notations. For example, the “-” sign in front of a number means that some step in the triad is missing. …
Step 6
Learn to use tablatures. They usually indicate how each chord is indicated on the guitar fretboard, and even have fingers that you need to grip the corresponding strings with. Remember that the thinnest string on the guitar is the first, and the thickest is the sixth or seventh. Fret numbering starts at the headstock. The dots on the fretboard represent the 5th, 7th, 10th and 12th frets.
