Simplified Chord Shapes for Beginners

Beginners will most likely find Eb Major quite challenging, but there is an easy way around this. Simply play a D chord starting on the 3rd fret instead of the 2nd fret, and only play the top 3 strings.

This is actually the second inversion of Eb Major. You are playing all the correct notes (Eb, G, Bb), but not leading with the root not (Eb).

Bbdim7 is also very easy to play, especially after A Major... it's like A7 with an addition on string 5, fret one.
