The problem with beginner guitar chords, is that being the easiest chords to play on the guitar, they don’t cover every chord. An example of this is the F major chord, and the B major chord. The unsuspecting beginner guitarist is going along quite fine, having just recently got over the horrible shock of discovering that he would need to develop callouses on his - or her - fingers, having pushed through the finger blisters stage, mostly because that’s the only way to actually get through it, and then comes the F chord.

The F chord and the D chord only really present a problem because they require your fingers to stretch a little further than the rest of the open chords. The good news though is that it’s these two chords that prepare your fingers for what’s coming after them, namely the bar chords, or barre chords as they’re correctly spelled.

The best kind of guitar to learn on, as far as playing modern music goes, is the electric guitar.
Acoustic guitar may have certain advantages, but when it comes to getting the rest of your guitar chords down, the electric guitar is way ahead in terms of comfort, or ease of playability.
While some people may argue that an acoustic classical, or nylon string guitar has the softest strings, the limitations as far as covering modern music go, tend to outweigh its advantages as an option for learning on.

Electric guitar lessons will give you the much needed advantage to cover many different genres of music, as well as give you a headstart on the acoustic guitar enthusiasts.
