Geko,
I'm living in North Little Rock, Arkansas, U.S.A. I've been playing guitar for about 23 years.
As far as the chords.....that's a lifetime of study!
But, you need to learn how to harmonize the Major Scale Pattern. This means, to play more than one of the scale's notes at a time. Once you can learn how to play all of the Diatonic Triads, you can practice Chord Scales. This is a big step. Don't worry about the terminology I just used. I'll explain it to you, very soon.
First, you've got to learn all of the Intervals in the Major Scale Pattern.
There are 7 notes in the pattern.
The 8th. note shares the same letter-name as the 1st. note.
The 1st. note is called the TONIC. It can also be referred to, as the ROOT, the KEYNOTE, or as the 1.
The 8th. note (the one with the same letter-name) is called the OCTAVE.
We will give each of the 7 notes in the scale a numbered name, also.
Here's all of them: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Here's the key to understanding it all: INTERVALS
INTERVALS are the distance between the notes.
The distance from the 1 to the 2 is an INTERVAL called a 2nd.
The distance from the 1 to the 3 is an INTERVAL called a 3rd.
From the 1 to the 4 is a 4th.
1 to 5 is called a 5th.
1 to 6 is called a 6th.
1 to 7 is called a 7th.
1 to 8 is called an OCTAVE.
I'll post you some TAB soon, with the intervals played on the guitar. Something for you to work on. Let me know if any of this is unclear, or hard to understand.
Ciao for now!
