Here's an easy progression to play in the key of C to get beginners going.

  • Each note name and / sign is a down-wards strum.
  • So a C / / /  = C 2 3 4 = strum, strum, strum, strum

C / / / > Dm / / / > Em > G / / / : > repeat

Use a plectrum or the side of your thumb for strumming.

In the beginning count as you go along = C234, change 234, change 234, change 234...repeat.

With practice you can make things a lot more interesting. Spend a few days absorbing this family, write it down, play it and memorize it, with and without guitar in hand for speedy results.

Another help is to find a few songs in a good songbook and see which ones are in the key of C. Pick one in C that you have on record and play along with it if you can.

Some progressions to try would be some of the following which you're sure to recognize.

  • C F G
  • C Am F G
  • C G F G
  • C Em Am G
