Beginner Chords and Chord Progressions
http://www.moveforwardguitar.com/begchordseguide/
The eGuide includes chord charts of the most common (and some less common) beginner chords. It also includes a list of several useful chord progressions. The chord progressions are created using the chords in the eGuide. This will give you an idea of which chords sound good together and how they can be grouped together to form songs. This will prevent you from learning a bunch of random chords that you don’t know how to use practically.
