Guitar Chord Designs

We think that guitar playing and guitar chords are so important that they should be part of the country…well part of the name of the country anyway!!!

Guitar Chords in a Nation

Chordword is all about helping people learning guitar recognise guitar chord through the corresponding letters in words. We believe that the more you see guitar chord diagrams, the quicker you will be able to recognise what the guitar chord is.

There is no better way that recognising the chord by a letter in a word.

We created the Guitar Chords in Nations theme to celebrate the beginning of a huge Rugby tournament that kicks off in Europe in February 2018. Notwithstanding the rugby championship, we think these are pretty cool designs as well as helping you recognise your guitar chords.

The Six Nations 2018 is a rugby championship played between Ireland, England, Scotland, Wales , France and Italy.

But enough about sport and back to the guitar and learning guitar chords!!!

In the Ireland design, you will see the letter “A” has been replaced by the A major chord diagram. Of course, you will have to learn how to “read” guitar chord diagrams to be able to recognise this as a guitar chord, what the guitar chord is and what you need to do to play this on guitar – be sure to read on for a full explanation of what to do!

If you are just learning your chords, the A Major guitar chord diagram within the word “Ireland” makes it easily recognisable as an A chord – remember we have just substituted the A Major chord with the letter “A”.

When you begin to learn guitar, practice and repetition of what you learn – whether it is a chord, melody or written guitar music – guitar tablature and guitar chord diagrams – is vital to do to make progress.

Anything that can help you play better is a good thing!

Chordwords – guitar chord diagrams in place of letters within words – help you quickly learn and recognise these chords in a fun and creative way.

Check out the Six Nations below – we have no doubt you will recognise your A major Chord when you have finished scrolling through the gallery.

A Major Chord

Now let’s take a look at the A major chord in some detail.

Major chords are composed of 3 notes – the root note, the major third and a perfect fifth. For the time being, do not worry too much about the theory and let’s identify what the notes are and how to read and play the A Major chord using a guitar chord diagram.

The 3 notes that the  A Major Chord is composed of 3 are a A , C#  and E note.

This is the A Major guitar chord diagram below. Hopefully you will have recognised it from the Chordword designs above. Remember how we have substituted a letter in the six nations with the guitar chord diagram.

If you are unsure how to read the guitar chord diagram, watch the video below for an explanation on how to use the diagram to work out what string, fret and finger to use to play the chord.

Learning guitar should be a joyful, fun and fulfilling past time for any budding rock star, songwriter or bedroom enthusiast!

However, it can be a frustrating journey with so much to remember – strings, frets, fingers, melodies, chords, diagrams, tabs, charts and on and on it can go.

Chordword is a fun and creative way to help you use everyday words to help you learn your basic guitar chords. We believe it is vital to use any easy and fun way to make the beginner guitar journey a little for manageable!!

We are merging words and chords together to make it easier for you to use letters in words to help your recognise the guitar chord.

It is a simple but effective way to help you recognise the guitar chords – recognised the substituted letter as the guitar chord and there you have it – check out how we did this with some of the Countries of the World in Guitar Chords.

We also happen to believe these make some rather cool designs for guitar chords shirts – we are adding more on a daily basis so hopefully, you will find one that you like and will be happy wear- we guarantee you that people will be staring at the shirt to try and work out what it says!
