So you guys at this point are comfortable with reading chord charts so be sure to check the supplemental material so you can
check that against what I am doing here.
I am going to go ahead and explain these two chords.
The first one is E minor.
The fingering I am going to be using is going to differ from the chord chart.
You can either use the chord chart fingering or you can use this fingering.
The reason I use this fingering is because it keeps my first finger free so that when I move up and down with bar chords
as you will see in a minute you don't have to change positioning.
Either fingering is fine.
Here is E minor and that is going to be third finger second fret on your a string, fourth finger second fret on your D string.
Strum all the notes.
You can also play it like this or like this really.
All of them are fine choose whichever is most comfortable for you.
There is E minor.
Remember the idea of doing chord pushups where you are getting it placed, strumming,
making sure all the notes are clean, take your hand off and put it back on.
Do that a number of times until you are comfortable with the way that chord feels.
There is E minor.
Again you are strumming all the strings.
One of the easier chords to play on the guitar I think.
The next is A minor.
To get from E minor to A minor you're going to take these two fingers here
and you are just going to move them to a different set of strings.
It's going to be second fret on your D string with your third finger, second fret on your G string with your fourth finger
and then you will come over here and take your second finger first fret B string.
You are not going to play your low E string in this case.
There is A minor.
Here is E minor.
A minor.
Like we did with some of the other chords it is not only important to practice them by themselves
but to practice transitions.
If you set a metronome or set a tempo two, three, four.
One, two, three, four.
One. That's going to help you work the transition between those chords and make it a little more comfortable for you.
The track that we're going to be doing here does not only include the A minor and the E minor
but it also includes G, C and D.
So we are going to be expanding the amount of chords we have for the progression for the track.
Go ahead and take a listen to the track and then come back and I'll explain through the chord progression a little bit.
Then we will get into bar chords.
