A guitar chord is basically a harmonization of notes (3 or more different notes played at the same time). Guitar chords form the basic harmony of music and are hence a very important aspect of playing the guitar. It is this ability to play chords that gives the guitar flexibility as a solo or an accompaniment instrument as compared to other instruments such as the violin or flute. Furthermore, anyone can start playing the guitar by learning some simple chords. This is also one of the main reasons why the guitar is such a popular instrument among musicians.
