When I play guitar, all of my chords sound the same?!
Question: Please don't use all of this guitar vocabulary.
I can't even play one chord.
I find out which fingers to use and I play like 2 chords,
and they sound exactly the same.
What am I doing wrong?
PS. DON'T TELL ME TO TAKE CLASSES AND FIND OUT.

Hey
Ok firstly the 2 chords could actual sound similar so it might be nothing to worry about

Just because you have the fingers in the right place you might not be strumming right. Check the chord patterns (which is the diagram of where to put your fingers) if a string has an "X" over it you arn't meant to hit it. So when you play a D chord for instance you strum with the higher strings, and an Emin you hit more of the lower strings.
OR
You might not be fingering them right at all. Make sure your fingers are between the "raised bits" not on them
If none of these are it tell me, there can't be too many things wrong
I tried not to use too much terminology. Good luck
I don't know what you are doing. Try playing simple chords that only use a few fingers. Open E and D are pretty easy and they don't sound the same. Google search open guitar chords. Look at the chords and pick some that look easy and practice. It takes a while before your fingers do what you want them to.
Good Luck
Well, there is a slight chance that you're tone-deaf. But I would bet that you're really new.
I can't really explain 'why' the A note sounds similar to the A note above and below it, but you will find it out the more that you play.
The real test if you're tone deaf is to play different notes along the same string. Go up and go down. If you can hear the differences congratulations, you're not tone deaf.
There's also a slight possibility that your guitar is out of tune. There's a good chance that it's out of tune, but little chance that it's so out of tune that all the strings sound the same! :) Make sure it's in tune.
For now just memorize fingering combinations and take some classes. You'll understand the more you play.
tune it?? duh
