need some new chords

I would recommend a chord chart (same size as a poster). They should have them in your local guitar store. Heck, I bought my scale chart at Wal-Mart.

I have both a chord and scale chart and look at them often.

Hey, I would recommend finding some better guitarists to play with. I found hundreds of chords online and it didn't do me any good because I wouldn't know the context and memorizing chords is pretty dull outside of the context of a song. It wasn't until I found other people to play with did I learn new chords and I am learning new ones all the time. Also look through the music theory lessons here on this site. Understanding chord theory (it isn't as hard as it sounds) helps you to be able to synthesize the new chords you learned with your old knowledge of chords (say you can see a certain chord shape and relate it chords you already know). Also look up some barre chord tutorials. You don't even have to barre them if you don't want to (just mute the strings you can't barre).

Here is a good lesson to get started on for music theory: https://www.guitarnoise.com/lessons/basic-music-theory/

check out nils site, he has chord charts 8)

I learned 98% of the chords I know from looking at tabs of songs I wanted to play. The other 2% are from watching live shows, and inventing chords myself.

I agree with whoever said about learning chords by learning songs you want to play - pick a song you can't currently play and practice it hard.

the chords must be in context, not just used randomly.

look at the Beatles - they started out with your pretty typical C, Am, G, songs, as they developed their chords choices expanded significantly.

Good luck

Looking back through the easy song database and lessons.......

There are songs with powerchords, maj7ths, augmented, min 9ths, min7ths, and DHodge's lesson on "Wish you were Here" is a good starting point....some unusual fingering of familiar chords.....there's also a good article/lesson on pedal points, you could do worse than look that up...

:D :D :D
