I am learning acoustic guitar and wanted to try and learn these chords below, however:
1. It doesn't include all chords because it changes to a higher pitch chord, so I'd like that.
2. If possible, though not required, it would be nice to know how to play this on guitar.

The main chords I'm referring to are: dm, c,f, g,am, g/b, c,

Thanks.

Basing off of the link you sent, I believe you are referring to the chord transition between C and Dm as well as Am to C. I think whats happening is a that a dominant chord is being played between each of those phrases.

Dm as a triad is D - F - A, the dominant chord to transition to that chord would be the fifth of that chord (A) so whats being played is a A major chord (in the link it actually so this once but is missing in most of the parts, it shows it as A/C# the notes for A are A C# E)

Taking this same idea from Am to C we have to look at destination, C. Figure out the triad, C - E - G. Take the fifth, G and play that chord G. I think this is also shown once or twice as G/B

If you want to look more into this topic, this kind of chord transition is typically called a dominant 7th substitution, in this case, the song doesn't seem to play the 7th chord tone though.

The reason why it sounds higher pitched is due to the voicing. For example C -> A/C# - D. The / indicates to play that note as the "bottom" or root of the chord so it would be C# - E - A. Looking at the chords by root note would go C -> C# -> D. Same with the other phrase Am -> G/B -> C roots: A -> B -> C.

Don't know too much about guitar chords/voicing so cant help you there but the both chords A/C# and G/B show up at least once so you can reference that. Hope this helps.

Sorry but I'm totally lost, I don't know any music theory, I just wanted to know the chord names so I can use them on a separate website that shows me the keys on the keyboard visually. I don't know anything about triads, dominants, fifths.
