Time to dust off your guitar and start strumming. You won’t be bogged down in this course by tedious exercises or music theory. Instead, we get straight to the mechanics of chords and strums so that you can pick up a piece of sheet music (or find some online) and start playing songs that you know and love.

@krissyperi Move your fingers closer to the metal fret the one that is towards the guitar body. It is easier and you don’t have to press down as hard. But don’t actually touch / press down on metal fret.

@HoLdInG468 well you should hold your fingers like it says 3:01 your finger fat is blocking the notes but you can change that by doing what hes saying i try that and it worked just move it up littel bit and your set to play.
