Remember that sharps are up a note and flats are down a note. So F# and Fb are the same note.
We will primarily use sharps, but we will use flats as well.
Remember that every note has a sharp except E and B
The same notes can appear in different places on the guitar. For example F# G#
These notes are all Es These are all Cs All As F G A A# B

Not all chords can be played with open strings (like C,D,E). So we have to use bar chords and mimic other
chord forms. E and A forms are almost always the way to go. If a chord is minor, then we would use the
Em or Am forms. Just use the exact same shape as an E, Em, A, or Am chord and move it to where the root is.
If your chord root is on the E string, then use an E form. If your chord root is on an A string then use an
A form. Here are the E, Em, A, Am chords E Em A Am
