Ok because we are going to be learning our first chords we need to make sure we are on the same page with a few terms.
First off we are referring to our fingers in the following way.
Your index finger is one.
Your middle finger is two.
Ring finger is three and your pinky is four.
The strings are going to be your E string or first string.
The B string or second string.
Your G string or third string.
Your D string or fourth string.
Your A string or fifth string.
Your low E or your sixth string.
Your frets one, two, three, four, five, six, seven etcetera.
Numbered consecutively from this direction to this direction.
Remember when you a fretting a note which means you're putting your finger on the fret.
You are not placing it on the metal.
You are placing it between the metal.
So between the nut and the metal is the first fret, second fret, third fret and fourth fret.
Making sure you are pressing down enough so you are hearing a note correctly
but you are not pressing down too much which will alter the pitch of the note which is not good.
So there is our review. Let's get to learning our first chord.
