This post is for those just starting out. The first chord you get to learn is C Major.
The full chord is this: 
Hard to play? That’s okay. If you want you can start with the easy version. Just one finger!
Play only the last three strings (the highest ones).
When you play the chord, keep your thumb on the back of the neck, so that the fingers come straight down, not all slouchy sideways.
Hurts to play? Yeah, it’ll take some time to get used to. The tips in the link might help.
Make sure it sounds clear and beautiful. If it thumps, just keep working at it. It takes time, but think of how awesome it will be to play music!
