ACTION STEPS
Watch the video again to make sure you get all of the concepts that I’m teaching.
Step 1. Place your first finger in the second fret, fifth string from the bottem or the “A” string. Next place your second finger in the second fret, third string from the bottom or the “G” string. Next place your third finger in the third fret, second string from the bottom or the “B” string.
Step 2. Give the chord a nice strum and hear how awesome and amazing it sounds! It’s perfectly fine to strum all of the strings even though there are some “X” on the chord box in the video. I only recommend to not play the low “E” chord in this song.
This is such a beautifully full and modern sounding chord that works great in lots of songs and is really easy to play and quick to get to.
