_ _ _ _ Anyways, we're gonna look at the chords
We're gonna give you a guitar 101 look at the chords, and then we're gonna throw out a couple of songs
So let's blow up and look at some of the basic dad [A] get [C#] chords
_ _ _ _ [B]
Okay, let's start off with the [A#] basic one here
The [C#m] first one is really is a [Em] D.
You can play it actually with [A#] one finger on the
one finger on [A] the
second fret [C#] third string it would be like [B] the a and a normal tuning [C#] and
You just play it like that and notice to you guitar is going to be tuned to D
_ _ [A] D a D _ G A D
[F] You can tune it regular [C#] tuning [D#] to those [A] notes, or you can drop it down a little [C#] bit _ [C#m] if D a D G
A D.
That's where it gets its dad get [C#] name from first [C#m] chord D
One finger right there now a little bit fuller D.
[D#] We're gonna add [C#] on the
_ third finger to the fourth fret of the fourth string
If _ _ [D#] you want to go full all [C] the way at a little pinky down here on the fifth fret of the [C#] fifth string
_ And then that's a full but for a lot of stuff all you need is the two and the four [G#] on the third
[C#] And the fourth string so your first chord
D
_ Next [D#] chord G [C#m]
two fingers [F] like the E minor position on the fifth [C#] and six but down on [F#] the fifth fret
_ There's a G
You can play a full G _ by putting [Em] the finger on
[B] _ the [A#m] fourth fret first finger
_ So you go on [A#] four [C#] and then a [F#] five five on the five and six string
That's a G [D#] or you [F#] can do it like this too, which would [C#] be the fourth on the [D#] third _
String and then down [F#] to the low two so there's two cheese you play there
Easiest one being the E minor kind of position on five and six
Okay, a is like a [C#] regular a but I play the a sus so it's like
[A] _ _ _
Second [B] finger [C#] or third finger on the
Second fret and second finger on the fourth fret or a regular a sus kind of a fingering
The [D] B seven is a little trickier one
[F#] It's kind of [C#] like a regular b7, but you're scrunching up the one two three instead of having the little pinky way down on the bottom
It slides [D#] up to the [C#] second string and [Fm] only play the middle strings only [A#] play five four
Three and [A#m] two you don't [A#] want to play the other one.
So the b7 only play the middle part
[C#] Your C is like a [B] c9 _
it's
_ _ third on the fifth second on the fourth [E] and then _
Third finger on the D on the second string.
It's like a [B] c9 chord
_ _ [C#] You're back to you D, you know, the [D#] e minor [F#] is just like the G
But it [C#] moved down [F#] and it's like e minor just on the [C#] fifth and sixth string strings
F sharp minor you're gonna slide it up [Fm] to
_ _ [C#] and you're gonna put the the other finger on the first finger [A] on the
[D#] Fourth fret [A] or excuse me fourth [B] string second [C#] fret F [F#] sharp
_ [C#] G F sharp minor
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Actually, let's take that back let's put it on the a let's put it down here _
_ And then down so it's actually that F sharp minor is on the a position.
So it's really like the _
_ [A] First finger [C#] on the second fret there _ and then down so you've got
your D
_ _ To an e [D#m] minor _
[C#] To [F] an F sharp minor
[C#] _ _ Slide [F#] it up to a G
_ to an [G#] a _
To a [A#] b7 only play the middle ones _
to the [B] C
_ [C#] back to the D _
Now you can also to there's a lot of other things.
[C#m] Those are just some basic ones, but you can play your
E minor F sharp minor.
There [F#] you go.
Gee [C#m] walk up the scale a _ _ _
_ And you can keep going up your scale _ _
[C#] Another one you can do you try this too.
This is nice two fingers
A lot of things with dad get it just a two note stop thing with the chords drone it.
It's a start way up on _ _
12th fret with the oh
it's the
Second finger on 12 and the first finger on 11 _
Take that position as a D and then walk it down and go to the next one
_ Which is really 11 and 9
_ with your pinky or [G#] third and
first [D#] and that same position [C#] hold it down for seven and nine and then you can go to [G#] the
_ _ [C#] Seven six in [C#m] the two [C#] kind of position those two together
then you [F#] go back down two [Fm] frets and then [C#] swing it down to the four and two [D#m] and then the _ _
Will be the fourth string and open [C#] and then back down to your knee so you can do a little run down You _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [C#] _ _ _
[G#] _ _ _ [C#] _ _ There's a lot more positions and things you can do with all of this
But that's just some of the basic chords keep it going and we can I can show you a few songs _
