Hey, how're you doing ? Justin here. As usual, continuing the beginners course.
Now we are checking out the E minor chord.
Now the E minor chord is a piece of cake.
In fact, it's so easy I was just even thinking about not making a video for it.
But I thought it might feel upset if we made videos for all the other chords and then didn't for this one.
I didn't want it to feel left out.
So I'll do a little close up for it but this one is really easy.
Here we are for a look at E minor. This is the easiest chord on the beginners course.
I've give you a clue.
There's E, there's E minor. Whey hey! So it's only using two fingers.
Now to be honest you can use any fingers that you want for this.
Sometimes you might want to use fingers one and two. For example, later on when we look at the G chord,
it's a lot easier to use fingers one and two for E minor.
We haven't done G chord yet so that is probably not even entering your mind.
But you could use two or three which is what we are doing now.
Later on, you may even want to use three and four or one and four.
Actually that would be really stupid but you could use any combination
that you want as long as you are holding the right dots.
Now the one I recommend you use for this beginner part is fingers two and three.
It is quite simply finger two, on the second fret of the fifth string
and finger three on the second fret of the fourth string.
Now all of those notes should be pretty straight forward as long as you remembering to keep your fingers round.
The only one that people seem to have trouble with sometimes is the G string.
(plays) that note there
(plays) sounds like that because they let their
third finger lean over a little bit too much and it mutes it
(plays) if you bring your fingers back onto the finger tips
from there (plays) you should get yourself a nice chord.
