The simplest chord to the guitar is probably the E Minor, also noted Em in English. You will find the Anglo-Saxon notation on most guitar methods, this notation is actually easier to remember and especially shorter to write!

Before moving on to the fingering necessary for this chord, it is imperative to tune your guitar, indeed, it is impossible without having a guitar tuned correctly.
