At all times there were people who wanted to pick up and learn how to play songs of their favorite performers. The same is happening today. Many people want to pick up chords for the song they like and show off their beautiful playing in front of family and friends.
For everyone who wants to play their favorite song on the guitar, there are two options: choose the chords on their own or find the desired piece and tablature on the Internet. You should consider these two methods of picking chords in more detail.
Choosing the chords for the song yourself
The method of self-selection of chords for a song will suit those people who are more or less versed in music. All you need is a guitar, a recording of your favorite song, and a good ear. At first, the selection of chords will be slow, since sometimes you cannot hear the guitar while playing several instruments (for example, the bass guitar can muffle the lower sounds of the chord played on the guitar, and frequent hits on the "cymbals" of the drum kit will prevent you from hearing the melody playing in the upper voice of the guitar, etc.). If you have little experience with picking chords for a song, then it is better to find versions in which the parts of any instrument are excluded. For example, on the Internet, you can find recordings of songs without a rhythm section or voice. When choosing chords from such audio files, you will not be distracted by the parts of other instruments or the melody of the voice.
It should be noted that to pick up the chords of a song by ear, you need to have absolute or good relative ear for music. Otherwise, you will achieve nothing but disappointment in your abilities.
We are looking for chords for a song on the Internet
If you are just starting to master the guitar and you want to pick up chords for a song for the sake of pleasure, then it is better to look for them on the Internet on special sites. To do this, you just need to drive in the phrase "chords to the song ….." in the search engine line, where the name of the song is written instead of an ellipsis. You will immediately be shown many sites that contain chords for most of the songs currently in existence.
note
When searching or choosing chords for songs on your own, remember that often amateur guitarists upload chords to the network, who can also make mistakes. To correctly learn and perform the song you like, you need to include the original song and try to play the chords presented on the site. If you hear an unpleasant combination of sounds, it means that the chord is not chosen correctly. That is why everything needs to be carefully checked and corrected.
On sites with song selections, two options are often posted - tablature and chord letters. In the first case, you will see 6 horizontal rulers, on which numbers will be indicated in a different order. The numbers indicate the fret number on the guitar where you need to place your finger, and the rulers indicate the string (the 6th string is at the bottom, and the first is at the top).
You can also find out the letter designations of chords and learn how to quickly and correctly put them on special sites. In guitar tutorials you can also find explanations and detailed analysis of chord letters.
