Guitar Musings → My First F

When I went to grade school there were five different grades you could get on your report card. These were represented by the letters A-D and of course F. An A was the best grade you could get and obviously F was the worst grade you could get.
Interestingly, there are also standard guitar chords with the same names, A-D and F. Do these chords also represent a progression from best to worst? I decided to do some investigation into this intriguing hypothesis.
Since A was the best grade you could get in school, was A the best chord you could play on the guitar? Let’s take a listen.
