I may use my first and second until I feel better, okay, back to E, go to A7, D, and G. Go and play, strum four times each go to the G, A7, and D, G, A7, and D, E minor, the second and third the C. Let’s do a nice simple exercise using all five of those chords. This is a really important chord, first finger, first fret, going the other way, skip a string and go to the fourth string second fret, and the fifth string third fret. The best way to learn guitar is to practice slowly and accurately.įor the C chord, third finger – fifth string, third fret, the second finger on the fourth string – second fret, and the first finger on the second string – first fret, aiming for the first five strings. Now you should know it’s common to use your second and third finger for that chord of. E minor, take your fingers off and try it again, both on the second fret, the fifth and fourth strings, right next to each other. It’s actually the base note of the chord or what we call the root note. Two fingers on the fifth string second fret, and right next to them the fourth string second fret, first and second fingers actually you can play all six strings. Moving along we’re going to do the E minor. Go from the D chord now to the G, whatever form you’re comfortable with right now. There is stuff later on that you’ll want to be able to play using the sixth string. You can start there but eventually get over and play that sixth string. Then the simplest form to get started with is just the third finger on the first string – third fret. I’m touching slightly with my second finger so it doesn’t ring. I’m actually not playing the fifth string. If this is difficult try backing off to just use two fingers. I stretch my second finger over to the sixth string – third fret and the first finger on the second fret – fifth string. My finger is on the third fret – first string. Let’s just start here – it’s not the easiest. Let’s go on to the G chord, and I’m going to use the three finger G. Move over back to the D – move those two fingers over and put the third one in the middle. It’s still on the second fret, still aiming for the first five strings. Let’s go to A7, were just going to take the third finger off and move the first two fingers over to the fourth and second string. Watch that you are using proper thumb position behind the neck. If they’re too far away it’s hard to get a good sound, and then they buzz, and then if you’re on top of the fret they just kind of dead out, so get close as you can without getting on top of it. That’s important! You can get a nice clear sound much more easily in this way than when your fingers are stretch like that, also get your fingers close to the frets – these metal little bars on neck are frets. Notice I’m angling my fingers up and down. Take your fingers off and go on and play it again. I’m just giving you an idea what to aim for – for now. I’m really aiming for the top fourth strings. Place the second finger on the first string – second fret, first finger on the third string – second fret, and I’m putting my third finger in between the two on the second string – third fret. We call it the highest because the highest pitch wise not the highest physically. By the way the first string is the highest string the thinnest, and the low thickest string is the sixth. Three fingers I’m going to have the first finger on the second fret, third string. Let start with the first chord it’s the D. I just prefer to use this one because it sounds great. It’s a really high quality guitar, my favorite. I’m using my favorite guitar, my Lester DeVoe, handmade nylon string guitar.
