open chord
Uses open strings
An open chord in guitar and other fretted instruments is a chord that includes one or more strings played without fretting—letting them ring "open" at their full length.
Open chords like G, C, D, and E major are typically the first chords beginners learn because they're easier to finger and produce a full, resonant sound: She strummed a few open chords around the campfire.
