Whats X02210? :o (im a complete beginner)

[yoyomaster29]

thanks it helped me a lot!

[123tigerlily321]

@UncleJamessyy it means you don't play the bottom E string, you play an open A string, on the d and g string you have your finger on the second fret, on the b strong you have your finger on the first fret, and the high e string is open. :)

@UncleJamessyy I am not sure if anyone ever replied to this, but this code tells you what fret to place your finger on in the chord. The order goes from the 6th string to the 1st string. Xs stand for the string not being played at all. 0s mean that there is no finger on that chord.

Hope that helps.

@UncleJamessyy its Am A minor

its the chord look up basic chords on google the x means dont strum that string the 0 means strum the string all with your right hand and the 221 is your finger possition on the D G E strings .

@UncleJamessyy X02210 reperesents the finger positions for an A minor chord.

The low E string is muted (represented by the X)

The A string is played open

The D string will be fretted at 2 (an E note)

The G string will be fretted at 2 (a A note)

The B string will be fretted at 1 (a C note)

The high E string is played open.

To mute a string, place a finger on it lightly so that it won't vibrate when struck. It's probably easiest to use your thumb. Anyway, look up "A minor chord."

Why no nails, I mean, really ZERO nails !?

[manningdawgfan1834]

X02210 is an Am chord

X32010 is a C chord

I'm as complete a beginner as they get. Just got a guitar not 10 minutes ago. Never before played one. How do you align your fingers so that the string doesn't stop vibrating? Like when I pluck the B string it just stop vibrating. I dunno if that made sense.
