[MrDan2593]

[ShookerTrooper]

Does this guy look like Paul Mccartney or is it me?

[xlabziixscenepuppetx]

@ShookerTrooper its u :P

[daneyney43]

@ShookerTrooper I thought it was Paul McCartney untill he said he was Tom

[arewetheryet]

nica thanks alot

[gnawy113]

yeah exactly it's a C9 .. not the actual C .. and it's a lil bit harder to move from G to C for beginners

[missacejay]

cadd9, I believe. But certainly easier to change from g to.

[SonicMegaMix]

cadd9?

and theres nothing about not strumming the low E

[howardrhughes]

pual?

[ixcreme]

dude he looks like paul mccartney

[ArcherBellGallagher]

Do you play all strings on this?

[ScelesticFish]

The guy's right, not the C chord I know of! He makes it a bit to complicated for beginners xP Isn't it, ring finger, 3rd fret on A, middle finger on 2nd fret of D, and index finger on the G?

[bostonhomeland]

this will confuse beginners with the actual C chord, its C9..but not bad

[itachiprincess16]

@bostonhomeland I hate that chord...

[LycrisGirl]

plz help i feeeeel like all the chords are the some sound help tom plz answer wat imai suppose to do or anybody answers me

[LycrisGirl]

i mean same

[besurasinger]

get ur guitar tuned.. and make sure that u press the strings with the tip of ur fingers at 90 degree.you will get it right !!!

[Jessecks]

well his terrible

[gitchigoomi]

This guy is a mess.

[diorellaxoxo]

isnt this the same as cadd9??

[JoshPlaysGames]

yeah i was thinking the same thing...

[MrsDepp66]

I didn't think it made sense either but it really is a C chord, I just played it with a tuner and its wicked easy if you have G memorized then this is so simple, this guy rocks.

[dirtydangl18]

we never got into the differences.

[kaylajade1997]

i am so confused... all i want to do is learn one song and i can't figure this out!

[gs2589]

Wouldn't the third finger that is placed on the second string of the third fret play a D, which is not part of C major chord???

[Bubbajuicer]

yea - i was thinking the same thing. But he mentioned how it was not a way you would normally be taught to play a c chord. Also, if the B string wasn't held down the way he showed, u would end up playing something minor.... so it might just be a way to make it sound major(?)

[Miss123Music]

this guy is making no sense at all!!

[7StArChIcK7]

this is retardted, you cant understand it at alll!!!

[Nishant000001]

hate it.... cant even play it properly

[elop621]

horrible doesnt explain good at alll theres other expert vill ones dat explain betta

[Guitarferry]

is the pinky on the 3rd fret, E string, necessary?

[theathehamster]

he looks like paul mccartney

[talkingtinaa]

what?/??

[guitashamilele]

god this demonstrates why I hate "expert" village!

[PumpItUpChick09]

huh, i dont think thats a c chord?! is it?

[laxkid1223]

thats not c its cadd9

[xrunepk3rzx]

What? That chord is C add 9 not C. C chord is fret 1 string 2 (from bottom), fret 2 string 4, fret 3 string 5.

[redheadzrule66]

I'm not really getting the hang of it

[horusophie]

What does he mean by tucking the fingers in?

[InsaneBitchh]

thank you ; )

[BlackOrchid66]

I had a little difficulty playing this, I find sitting in the right position helps, sit on a chair or something and and not cross legged on a bed. Lol (from personal experience) xP

[cuti343va]

I'm getting plucking sounds! Can someone help me?

[Cardician999]

you're not pushing hard enough so you are muting the strings this actually can be useful in some chords or in making percussive sound but can hurt this chord if you deaden it

[RSkelly117]

hes right you are not pushing down so you are cutting off the rest of the note being played

[redheadzrule66]

NO!

[cuti343va]

STFU you need help too.

[deynorus]
