Hi here are som beginner chords for you to start practacing on your guitar:

Note: All major chords have a root and a 3rd and a fifth note in them, dont get confused saying "How can they only have 3 notes in them theres like 10!" well these notes are overlapped or duplicated to create a better and fuller sound.. :P

There ya go some basic chords for you beginers to muck around with!..

Ok have a question , whats the difference between C5 and Cmaj5

There is no difference.. wether a chord is major or minor is defined by it's third, -5 chords have no third so basicly they're nor major nor minor.

There is a difference though between C7 and C-maj7 :P

You can make up chords by referring to these numerals in accordance to the C Major scale

C major:
1 3 5
C E G (first, third and fifth note of C major)

C minor:
1 3b 5
C Eb G

C7:
1 3 5 7b
C E G Bb

C-maj7:
1 3 5 7
C E G A

Cmin-7
1 3b 5 7b
C Eb G Bb

Cmin-maj7

1 3b 5 7
C Eb G B

C5:
1 5
C G

etc etc. this list goes on for ever... but the third is what defines major or minor...It's hard to explain this in english :P

A C5 is a C chord with no third - basically, just the root and the 5th, in this case C and G. a C major 5 isn't actually a chord - you're probably asking about a C major, which contains a root, major third, and a 5th.

Generally, unless the 5th is modified (a b5 or +5), it's not specifically mentioned when naming chords, as it's just assumed to be there. The exception is 5 chords, of course, as they're JUST composed of roots and 5ths. ;)
