Understanding Open Chords on Guitar

In any guitar, it is essential to familiarize yourself with the various chord formations that you can play. A chord is an assemblage of two or more strings of the guitar that can be played simultaneously. It is possible to play a chord using the strings behind the frets or in a way that leaves the string ‘open.’ An open chord is, in a nutshell, a chord played in the open position. When we consider chords that may be played in an open position, the concept is mainly meant to include the chords that are played around the frets ranging from the third to the sixth, i.e., at the third, fourth, fifth and sixth frets.

B Chord Guitar

While many beginners want to learn how to play guitar using songs, it’s a good idea to master the building blocks of the instrument first. The following post features a step-by-step guide to playing the basic chords. This one is for the B major chord, which is very versatile and can be used in many different situations.

B chord is one of the most important chords in both folk and rock songs, as it is widely used. It is also a barre chord, and most of the barre chords on the guitar are pretty difficult to master at first.

There are two methods for playing B chord on the guitar, and both are a bit tricky. They demand some manual dexterity, especially for the first-timers.

The first method is using one finger for playing the B chord. The finger that is used is the index finger.

The procedure is as follows: you first put your index finger at the third fret of the sixth string. Then, put the finger at the first fret of the fifth string. You can use your thumb to mute the first string, which is located at the fifth fret.

The second method is using three fingers for playing the B chord. The fingers used for playing the chord are the index, middle, and ring fingers.

The procedure for this is as follows: you first put the index finger at the third fret of the sixth string. Then, put the middle finger at the second fret of the fifth string. Finally, put the ring finger at the second fret of the fourth string. This chord is much easier to play if you are using the left hand.


Practice transition between the E-Chord and the B-Chord, learn to transition between the A-Chord and the B-Chord, and back to the A-Chord, also with the B-Chord and back to the E-Chord. Those are the three most common chords in popular music, along with their derivatives. With continued dedication and practice, your speed and accuracy will continue to improve, and soon you’ll be able to play the chords at will without needing to stop and think about the transition and hand placement.
