Give us an idea of the stuff you do know, and we'll go from there.

i.e.--"I know open chords" "I know my barre chords" or whatever.

God Bless.

I'm assuming you know the relationship of chords in certain keys--like in the key of C: C is your root (or 1), F is your 4, G is your 5, and Am is your 6 (or relative minor).

If you do not know that, hit me up on my e-mail, and I have a chart I can send you.

If you are just wanting to get some song-specific progressions down, do a google for transcripts of the artists your into.

I hope that helped--if I'm off base, let me know so I can get you the info you are looking for.
