Learn To Play Guitar
Guitar Lessons for Beginners – How to Play 1000 Songs – Day #2: A Major Chord
FULL COURSE, TAB, JAM TRACKS: truefire.at More free guitar lessons: bit.ly On Twitter: www.twitter.com On Facebook: www.truefire.com Today we will learn our first chord, A Major, and a basic strum pattern. You might be surprised to hear that there are songs that use only one chord! While guitar players may differ on the “most correct” way to finger and strum any one chord, you’ll get the most out of this course by following my suggestions and recommendations. Don’t be confused by the white lines on the outer edges of my guitar–it may look like an additional string in certain camera angles. Also, it’s normal for your fingers to hurt at the beginning. This will go away with practice, but that is also why it is important to keep our practice sessions short for now. Let’s start making music!

@THENeerajthacker whatever
June 20, 2011 - 8:06 am
Awesome video but he forgot to mention that you only strum strings 1-5 in A major. you dont play the sixth string (6e). if you listen carefully you can only hear him strum 5 strings. 5th down to 1st.
