And here is everything else you need to know. Enjoy!
📈 Difficulty
1/10 (This gives you a rough idea of how difficult it is. If you feel it’s actually easier, great. If not, don’t feel bad.)
⏰ Time Estimation
2 Hours (This is a rough estimation that can vary widely. If you’re faster, great. If not, don’t feel bad.)
💪 Action Steps
Get comfortable playing and memorizing the chords on frets 3 5 7 8 10 12 14 & 15.
Practice the 1st section of the application.
Practice the 2nd section (the strumming bit) of the application.
Practice the 3rd section of the application.
Put everything together and play the entire piece.
Create your own music using these chords.
✏️ Extra Tips
If you can’t reach frets 14 & 15, don’t worry. A good replacement are frets 2 & 3.
On all these chords, keep your middle finger (the one on the thickest string) flat to mute the A string (the 2nd thickest). It doesn’t belong to the chords. We don’t want to hear it.
🎯 Encouragement
These chords are super easy to play (yet do they sound great). They’re great to get creative with as you only need to move them around the fretboard. Have fun with it!
