The basic major and minor chord shapes, as generally played on an acoustic guitar. They are commonly referred to as the 'Jesus chords' simply because they make up the majority of Christian worship music. Singer/songwriters are also well-known for playing these chords frequently in their music.
A guitarist who is only playing 'Jesus chords' (and not using a capo) will rarely, if ever, move his hand past the 4th fret.
Major chords:
E, F (barre), G, A, C, and D major
Minor chords:
E and A minor, B minor (movable), and barre chords that don't include the 3rd finger (movable)

Get the Jesus chordsmug. An outwardly cool guy who is actually psychotic. In Irish folklore, a demon with the same charisma as Jesus Christ.
He's such a jesus devil: four girls pregnant simultaneously; three seperate court appearances---'break and enter', 'make an officer of the law look like a suckrod', 'carnal knowledge of a horse'. Plus next week, he auditions as a game show host.

Get the Jesus Emittermug. The secret ESRB rating for a game that has been critically acclaimed to be so violent that it's been rated JO, for Jesus Only.
"Hey did you hear that Manhunt 2 got an AO rating?" "Actually, it's been rated JO for Jesus Only, because if you are someone other then Jesus and you play it, then you are most likely to swallow your own head."

Get the Jesus Onlymug. When you are driving around and you find that golden parking spot that is calling your name, as if Jesus were opening up the heavens to you in an 8'x16' space.
I was trying to find parking at the grocery store, and this jesus spot opened up right next to the entrance. I shouted to the heavens, "Sweet Jesus!" because I didn't have to go on an exodus across the parking lot to get my Depends for Men - my anus was ready to ignite!
