<human>:  I want to learn how to play the guitar. What are the basic chords I should learn?
<bot>: The basic chords you should learn when beginning to play the guitar include E-major, A-major, C-major, G-major, and D-major. Additionally, you should also learn some common barre chords, such as F-major, B-minor, and E-minor. Once you've learned these chords, you can start experimenting with different shapes and progressions.
