Why didn't they put DOTs BETWEEN the frets?!? Arrrrrrgh!
But it has been awhile.
That's quite an unusual collection of chords, maybe because B major chord is too hard for beginners. I-bIII-IV is some Bela Bartok-level shit.
Maybe change your E and A to E7 and A7 if you feel like it. They're easier for beginner guitarists to play anyway.

"The Damned can now play three chords. The Adverts can play one. Hear all four of them at..."
those X marks are on the frets, they should be in the middle between the frets...
I think this is a good way of approaching life. Learn the absolute basics, then start making things. Trying to learn everything first will keep you in the consumer mindset. Be a producer.
It’s so tempting to do a ton of prep and try to blow people away. I think it’s a flavor of procrastination or perfectionism that gets in the way of your real goals.

This is from the era when guitar tab was not so ubiquitous…and I seem to remember a lot of the chords in pop song books printed with dots on the fret 45 years ago. But it has been awhile.

And then someone like Jacob Collier comes along and we don't know what to say anymore because language just does not apply to such a phenomenon.
had to look this guy up and watched the video for "All Night Long". with audio only, this is pretty much just a sample-heavy jazz-pop cover that would be indistinguishable from just a regular multi-track recording. i'm assuming what makes him special is his video approach where all the "samples" are shown as video clips of the musicians performing them. i'd probably describe the approach as "an actually talented vers…
Totally understand if none if it is your style!

I guess D would make more sense than E, but also G E A sound great in a progression
Just learning to play the guitar myself and at least personally, have found D to be a pain in the ass of a chord shape. I can switch between A, E, and G all day long, but throw a D in there and I have to slow down and be a little more intentional. Muscle memory will happen, but for the combination of my brain and that shape, it happens more slowly. I don't think I'm the only one, either, because it was called out specifically by the guy who did the video lessons I'm using.

The roots fall on a pentatonic scale which works well with basic rock music (see the referenced TNT song by AC/DC).
