Um, dude...learn the regular major and minor chords...

Go to www.chordfind.com and just click on like C Major, and G Major, and whatever you'd want to know.

--7-------
--7-------
--5-------

[walpurgis]

That's a power chord. That one in particular is an A5, or A fifth.

Do you know the notes on the fretboard?

[walpurgis]

If you look around on www.wholenote.com there's a lot of nice stuff there, about scales, modes, chords, and all that fun stuff.

yes learn the regular major and minor and 7th chords... you'll be writing tunes in no time..

while your at it, it might be an idea to learn 4ths, 5ths, 7ths, etc, so you actualy know wat is happenin the particular chord, as well as being able to create you own.
