These chords form the foundation of many songs because they are the I, V, IV, and vi chords in the key of C major. Mastering these simple chords allows beginners to quickly play a wide variety of songs across genres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These four chords are by far the most popular chords in music. Once you know them, you\u2019ll have unlocked hundreds of pop songs.

To play popular songs using chords, musicians use <strong>chord charts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing how to read chord charts is a useful skill because chord charts are widely available and often free. Chord charts help you quickly learn the foundations of a song, so you can add your own riffs, fills, ornamentations, and solos later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading chord charts is easy! You\u2019ll see the lyrics of the song and bold letters above them. These are your chords.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musora.com\/musora-cdn\/image\/quality=85\/https:\/\/pianote.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com\/blog\/2021\/The%20Instant%20Pianist\/the%20claw.jpg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The chords are positioned above the lyrics in such a way that you will play them when you reach that portion of the song. When you are singing along and see a &#8220;G&#8221; above the word, switch to the G chord. When you see an &#8220;F,&#8221; switch to the F chord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"chords-to-learn-next\" style=\"font-size:32px\"><strong>Chords to Learn Next<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you master the Big Four chords, it\u2019s time to expand your chord knowledge! Some good chords to learn include the I, IV, V, and vi chords of neighboring keys, such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>G Major: <\/strong>G, C, D, Em<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>F Major:<\/strong> F, Bb, C, Dm<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>E Major is a common key in guitar music. The I, IV, V, and vi chords in E Major are <strong>E<\/strong>, <strong>A<\/strong>, <strong>B<\/strong>, and <strong>C#m<\/strong>.
