in A Major Chord dont use 2,1,3 left hand fingers, ITS MORE EASY IF YOU JUST PUT 1,2,3 FINGERS!

[sethy1]

@Alrreola its more easy if you want to be stuck playing shit. you gotta get a good technique unless you want to be stuck playing power chords or kumbayah your whole life you wank

@Alrreola I don't know how you got a top comment for this, but you're completely wrong. Some people find it easier to play an A chord that way, especially people with fatter fingers. Also, depending on the next chord, that fingering is easier for the switch. For instance, with the 2,1,3 fingering of A major, it is much easier to switch to an A maj7. Same with switching to an E major or a Dmajor. Much easier with that fingering of A major. I actually use both fingerings.

@NateMantle I didn't even know I had the top rated comment. What you say its right, sometimes it depends on the next chord you're playing but if you play the chord 2,1,3, the first finger (1) will not be near where the fret ends and that may make the second string buzz a little bit. Also it depends on the person, I find it very uncomfortable to play it like he says in the video but other people may find it cool.

Very usefull. I've been playing guitar for 6 years, but usually just spam powercords. Just usually switch my index and middle finger around. My middelfinger is a bit longer then usuall, so its easier to get to those lower strings and frets.

Cheers lads.

[tollan23]
