The C Major chord referred to as C Chord or C open chord is an easy chord to master with little effort. So let us dive in to learn to play this easy beginner level chord along with finger position and notes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>Interesting Fact <\/strong>: The C chord is one of the most widely used guitar chords in many songs across all languages. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-c-major-chord-notes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"C_Major_Chord_Notes\"><\/span><strong>C Major Chord Notes<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The C major chord simply consists of 3 notes &#8211; C E and G notes. The C chord can be played in a variety of ways across the neck of the guitar  in open and barre chord shapes. Simply if you are able to play these three notes in any shape in 3, 4 ,5 or 6 strings it is called as C major chord. However here we will learn to play this chord in 3 simple steps &#8211; the c major chord in open position. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-play-the-c-major-chord-guitar-open-position-in-3-simple-steps\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_play_the_C_major_Chord_Guitar_Open_Position_in_3_simple_steps\"><\/span><strong>How to play the C major Chord  Guitar (Open Position) in 3 simple steps<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take a look at the picture first to get an idea of the chord shape and the finger position.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/c-major-chord-2.webp\" alt=\"c-major-chord-guitar-open-position\" class=\"wp-image-24740\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1;width:380px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/c-major-chord-2.webp 900w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/c-major-chord-2-225x300.webp 225w, https:\/\/musicmaster.in\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/c-major-chord-2-768x1024.webp 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 1<\/strong>: Place your index or first finger on the 1st fret of the 2nd string (B String)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 2<\/strong>: Put your middle or second finger on the 2nd fret of the 4th string (D String)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Step 3<\/strong>: Keep the ring finger or 3rd finger in the 3rd fret of the 5th string (A String)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now strum from the fifth string to the first string in one stroke that is the C Major chord.
