Do you already know how to play a G chord? If so, feel free to skip this video, if not keep watching, and I'll teach you exactly how to do it. This is the second chord that I'll be teaching here, and it's the G and it sounds like this. This one's still fairly easy, but takes a little bit more stretching, because we'll be playing the note here on the highest pitch string, and here on the lowest pitch, and then here on the second lowest pitch. And so the way that we approach this chord, as you can see on this chart here, is we'll actually have the middle finger down here on the low E string. So go ahead and find that that's the third fret, so you've got 0123, and children play in that one with your middle finger.

And then you take your pointer finger and put it on the stream directly above that and you look into this note right here. And that will be on the second fret of the A string, so you can count from the zero a string, and then one, two. So these are your first two notes right here. Go ahead and find this. And then next you leave the rest of them open. And then once you get to that high pitch string that's closest to the ground, you're gonna take your ring finger and place it directly on the third fret.

And that's what it sounds like. And with this one, some people, especially when they're first learning, they'll find they have to pop their wrist out a little bit. So don't make it uncomfortable. But you'll find if you give a little space right here, it does get a little easier to play than if you're trying to hug. And the reason for that is because these extra fingers tend to mute these extra strings. And so you might get some weird sounds that's perfectly normal at the beginning, I just want to get you to the point here, where you can play the chorus even if you're just gonna butcher it because once you jump into the songs that I have for you in just about probably three videos away here, then you'll get a lot of practice using these chords over and over again.

So as long as you can remember how it feels you can start to build That muscle memory once we jump into actual songs, so overall it should sound something like this. So if you're getting that sound, feel free to jump into the next video now and if not, you can jump into a later lesson where I give more details on how to play clean chords and how to make it easy and things that you can do that will make it so you can master these chords as quickly as possible.
