"Hi, my name is Bonnie Barnard. On behalf of Expert Village I'm going to show you how to put the three chords together E minor, D and G. Earlier I showed you the three chords I'm going to over those again one more time these are the six strings of the guitar. These are the frets the gold lines here are the frets when you press your fingers behind those frets anywhere it creates chords. So you take your first finger (this finger here) you put it on the second string second fret it's first finger second string second fret see that second fret you place it right behind it. Then you take your middle finger and you put it on the third string still the second fret see I'm taking that one and I'm placing it there that is the E minor.
