"John Aguilar again, we have done a few things on the guitar. Today we are going to learn an A chord and what we can do with the A chord. Here is an A chord remember our finger numbers, one two three four. A chord three in a row. They are all in the same fret, the second fret here. First finger on the second fret of the D string. Third finger on the second fret of the G string and our third finger on the second fret of the B string, there is an A chord. That's kind of dull though, let's spice it up a little. We'll take our third finger off. There is an A two chord, back to A and A two again. Back to A. Now we will spice it up a little more we will add the pinkie. There is an A suspended it's in front of the third finger on that same string. It's in the fourth fret there. That is an A suspended chord. Let's take it off, back to A. Let's go back to the A two chord. Back to the A. To the A suspended. And there you have it A, A two, A , A suspended. And you can use it for many things instead of sitting on an A chord."
