Sam
I actually want to know the chords of "By Chance (You and I)" by JRA but I figured out that it requires a capo. But is there any way I can play it without a capo?
And if you can, please list down good and easy songs to play? I'm a beginner in a guitar so please list down the very easy ones. Thanksss!
Answer
Any song recorded with a capo can be played without a capo. It will simply sound in a lower key. There are tons of easy songs that use 3 chords. A simple beginner chord progression is G, Cadd9 and D. You can hear this common chord group on songs like "Every Rose Has it's Thorn"
Add E minor to that group and there are lots more choices such as "Good Riddance" by Green Day.
"Brown Eyed Girl" is an easy G,C,D song too, and a lot of fun to play.
Do a google search for "open guitar chords" and print yourself some chord charts. Then do another search for "3 chord songs". Finally, YouTube is a good resource for tutorials on easy acoustic songs and lessons.
Lastly, or maybe firstly, try a lesson with several local guitar teachers until you find one you like. You will learn tips and tricks that will accelerate your playing, and expand your song knowledge, WAY faster than doing it on your own.

omg! i think its so awesome that you are deciding to learn the guitar yourself! that is what i did about four years ago :). um i will give you my bets of advice. which is basically what i did to learn it. in all honesty-the videos did not really help me so i did it what some would call the "complicated" way but it helps a lot in the long run. i took and learned from multiple sources. and also i have never learned how to read musical notes-but i can read tablature and chords, and i still play it really well so for acoustic guitar learning those ways of reading music will help tremendously. for learning how to read notes i recommend taking a music class in school that teahces you it-thats what im doing next year. soo anyway-i learned from a few different sources-this book-

(it was very helpful-but take everything it says with a grain of salt-not EVERYTHING is entirely true. and if you have any specific questions, you can email me.)
and to read tablature-which is VERY important in learning chords/chord progressions and how to read and begin to play music-is here(its a VERY helpful article):

ALSO-remember to leanr where each string is located and which string is the first, and which is the last. and what frets are. and of course what chords and tabs are. good luck!!! it sounds really complicated but it gets MUCH easier!! and once you begin to learn-don't forget that you must practice what you know on the guitar EVERY SINGLE DAY for about 3 months for your fingers to form caluses which are very imprtant because they make your playing experience much easier for your fingers(stops the guitar strings from hurting your fingertips) and also it makes you sound better when you are playing then. GOOD LUCK!!! Your gonna need some. :).
