1. C Major (C Green, E Indigo, G Red): Start with this fundamental chord, which can be played by placing your ring finger on the third fret of the A string. Strum all four strings to produce a bright and cheerful sound.

2. G Major (G Red, B Yellow, D Blue): Next, try the G Major chord by placing your ring finger on the third fret of the E string, your middle finger on the second fret of the A string, and your index finger on the second fret of the C string. Strum all four strings as this chord adds depth and richness to your playing.

3. F Major (F Violet, A Orange, C Green): To play the F Major chord, place your index finger on the first fret of the E string and place your middle finger on the second fret of the G string, then strum all four strings. This chord takes some practice to not mute the C string, but it's worth the effort for its warm and mellow sound.

4. A Minor (A Orange, C Green, E Indigo): This very easy minor chord is played by placing your middle finger on the second fret of the G string. Strum all four strings for a melancholic yet beautiful sound that adds emotion to your playing.

6. E Minor (E Indigo, G Red, B Yellow): For a hauntingly beautiful sound, try the E Minor chord by placing your index finger on the second fret of the A string, your middle finger on the third fret of the E string, and your ring finger on the fourth fret of the C string. Strum all four strings for a melancholic and emotive vibe.

7. B diminished (B Yellow, D Blue, F Violet): Finally, master the B diminished chord by placing your index finger on the first fret of the E string, your middle finger on the second fret of the C string, and your pinky finger on the fourth fret of the G string.
