Although the Low E string and the A string have an (X) which means don't play, you can play the open A string for the A chords illustrated. Look at the 1st illustration below. It shows the chord formed at the 5th fret. Notice the A note at the 7th fret (4th string or the D string). This illustration shows how to play the A chord. But, by moving this chord either up or down the fret board, you can play other chords.

	This is the first illustration that is shown below. This image shows you how to play the A chord by starting on the 4th string. Notice the A note in yellow to the left. This is the root for the A chord. The notes of the A chord are, A, C# and E. You can move this fingering pattern to play other chords and use the same fingering pattern. If you moved this fingering pattern two frets higher, you could play the B major chord at the 7th fret.
	Look to the left, notice the fingering pattern is now at the 7th fret. This would be the B major chord. Notice the root note on the D string is now on the B note 9th fret.
	Look to the left, notice the fingering pattern is now at the 8th fret. This would be the C major chord. Notice the root note on the D string is now on the C note 10th fret. You can move all the fingering patterns below to play all the chords.

All the chords illustrated below show how to play only A chords. A major, A minor, A dim and so on. But you can move these chords around to play in other keys. By moving the finger patterns below, down two frets would be all G type chords. Move everything two frets higher, would be the B type of chords. The root of the each chord is found on the 4th string, this would be the D string.

Notice that the all the notes on the D string below are A notes. It is recommended that you learn how to play all these chords using a different root. Move the Root note up and down the fret board and figure out the other chords as you move. You can use the blank guitar fret board illustrations to come up with your own chords.
