Hey, how're you doing ? Justin here. 
As usual, continuing the beginners course.

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:14.067 --> 00:00:16.798
Now we are checking out the E minor chord.

00:00:17.182 --> 00:00:19.207
Now the E minor chord is a piece of cake.

00:00:19.299 --> 00:00:22.691
In fact, it's so easy I was just even 
thinking about not making a video for it.

00:00:23.060 --> 00:00:27.952
But I thought it might feel upset if we made videos for all the other chords and then didn't for this one.

00:00:28.044 --> 00:00:29.522
I didn't want it to feel left out.

00:00:29.522 --> 00:00:34.426
So I'll do a little close up for it but this one is really easy.

00:00:35.518 --> 00:00:41.148
Here we are for a look at E minor. 
This is the easiest chord on the beginners course.

00:00:41.148 --> 00:00:42.322
I've give you a clue.

00:00:42.322 --> 00:00:47.863
There's E, there's E minor. Whey hey! 
So it's only using two fingers.

00:00:47.863 --> 00:00:50.750
Now to be honest you can use any 
fingers that you want for this.

00:00:50.750 --> 00:00:56.201
Sometimes you might want to use fingers one and two. For example, later on when we look at the G chord,

00:00:56.201 --> 00:00:59.678
it's a lot easier to use fingers one and two for E minor.

00:00:59.678 --> 00:01:02.759
We haven't done G chord yet so that is probably not even entering your mind.

00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:06.256
But you could use two or three
which is what we are doing now.

00:01:06.256 --> 00:01:09.211
Later on, you may even want to use three and four
or one and four.

00:01:09.211 --> 00:01:12.389
Actually that would be really stupid but you could use any combination

00:01:12.389 --> 00:01:15.075
that you want as long as you are holding the right dots.

00:01:15.075 --> 00:01:20.206
Now the one I recommend you use for this beginner part is fingers two and three.

00:01:20.206 --> 00:01:24.952
It is quite simply finger two,
on the second fret of the fifth string

00:01:24.952 --> 00:01:28.511
and finger three on the second fret of the fourth string.

00:01:28.561 --> 00:01:32.794
Now all of those notes should be pretty straight forward as long as you remembering to keep your fingers round.

00:01:32.794 --> 00:01:37.021
The only one that people seem to have trouble with sometimes is the G string.

00:01:37.021 --> 00:01:40.437
(plays) that note there

00:01:40.437 --> 00:01:43.471
(plays) sounds like that because they let their

00:01:43.471 --> 00:01:45.846
third finger lean over a little bit too much and it mutes it

00:01:45.846 --> 00:01:48.946
(plays) if you bring your fingers back onto the finger tips

00:01:48.946 --> 00:01:54.175
from there (plays) you should get yourself a nice chord.
