Today we will learn our first chord, A Major, and a basic strum pattern. You might be surprised to hear that there are songs that use only one chord! While guitar players may differ on the "most correct" way to finger and strum any one chord, you'll get the most out of this course by following my suggestions and recommendations. Don't be confused by the white lines on the outer edges of my guitar--it may look like an additional string in certain camera angles. Also, it's normal for your fingers to hurt at the beginning. This will go away with practice, but that is also why it is important to keep our practice sessions short for now. Let's start making music!

My fingers don't fit

[ImpatientFingers]

I dont know what you mean by card (-.-????) But press your fingers down more firmly and make sure only one finger is touching one string. If all else fails you shouldnt be out in public unsupervised ;)

[skinnbones09]
