"Hi I'm Aaron De Azevedo, I'm here on behalf of Expert Village. I'm going to show you some really basic guitar chords that every guitar player has to know. We're going to start out with three chords, they're called A, D, and E. Now these guitars are really simple. Let me show you how A is played first. You're going to, you're not going to play this E string, you're not going to play string number six. You're going to start here and put your fingers like so and then you can strum. Really simple. The next chord is D. This chord, you're only playing the last four strings. You're not going to play the E string or the A string. And look at my fingers. That's how you can finger it. And you can strum that. Now the next chord is E. And you can strum that up and down. Nice and easy. Have your fingers arched like so and make sure that all the strings sound, and you've got it. And that's how you play chords."
