[A] [E] Canon starts with a D major open chord, second fret of the G string, third fret of the B string, second fret of the high E string.
We start picking from the [D] D string down.
Next, we [N] switch into an A major chord, which is the second frets of the D, G, and B strings.
You could go like this, with your pinky, ring, and middle finger.
I just like to use the index finger to flatten across the second frets of these.
We start picking from the open A [A] string down.
[E] Our next chord is a B minor chord, second fret of the A string, fourth fret of the D, fourth fret of G, third fret of B.
I'm pulling all those down like so, [B]
starting at the second fret of the A string here.
[Bm]
If you find that hard to hold, we could do some finger rolls to [B] play that.
Just hold the second fret of the A string first.
Use the ring finger to play the fourth [F#] fret of D, [C#] then the fourth fret of [G#m] G, then the middle finger to play the third fret [D] of B.
[B]
[G] [B] [D]
[G#] Next, we switch into an F sharp minor chord.
So that's the second fret of [F#] the E string, fourth fret of [C#] A, [F#] fourth fret of D, second [Am] fret of G.
So you can have a [F#] barre chord for that,
[F#m] or you can do the finger rolls.
[F#]
[A]
The next chord is a G major chord, and all we do for [F] this is hold the third [G] fret of the E string.
The pick skips the A string and goes to the D string, [Am] and then plays D, [G] G, and open B.
[Em] The pick skips the [G] A string and just plays a D, G, and B string.
[F] Now we're back into a D major chord,
[D]
then [C] another G chord.
All you need is the third [G] fret on the E string here, [C] followed [A] by another open A chord.
So that's our progression.
[D] D major, into A major, [A]
into B minor, [Bm] into F [F#m] sharp minor, into [G] G major, into D major, [D] back to G, [G] [A] back to A.
And then we start again with [D] D.

[D]
then [C] another G chord.
All you need is the third [G] fret on the E string here, [C] followed [A] by another open A chord.
So that's our progression.
[D] D major, into A major, [A]
into B minor, [Bm] into F [F#m] sharp minor, into [G] G major, into D major, [D] back to G, [G] [A] back to A.
