The guitar is a fretted instrument. If you look at a guitar, you will notice lines where the strings are. Those are called frets. When you put a finger on the fret, and then pluck the same string, the guitar will make a note. Put a finger on a different fret, the guitar will make a different note.
But guitar is nowhere near being that easy to play; in fact, almost every song in the world with guitar has more than just notes. Most of them have chords. Yep. Chords. To make a chord you put more than one finger on different frets, then strum the entire guitar to get a certain, unique sound. Look at these pictures below and look at chords. Also you can watch the video (sorry that was my mom yelling in the background). These are the chords these pictures show:
1: E minor
2: A
3: D
4: C
5. G
Wow that was really great. The only thing I think you need to add is what struming means. This is really good. Are you done yet? I think you should add a lot more.

The first song I played was Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. The second song was Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day.
