Lesson transcript

Group B Chords Lesson

So we're going to do Group B next.

I'm going to play you each of the open chords in order:

  • A Major
  • D Major
  • C Major

Now, this is the usual way we fret C Major. They're just playing from the D string here.

So if you don't want to add your third finger, you don't need to.

Continuing with:

  • C Major
  • G Major
  • A Minor
  • E Minor

You can also fret that chord with these two fingers if you want to.
