"So now we are going to show you our first set of chords and they are on the E string or the low string where the roots if based. We are playing them really high on the 13th fret. Again if you have a classical your brides is going to start cutting off there so you may want to move it down a couple of frets. We are really going for the pattern here. What you really want to do is take the pattern so you can write these tabs down at home or if you want to write them in different positions that is alright. We are going to look at our first one here and we have 13 and I circle the root right there. Then you have 15 fret and that note is really not important as we start off. You have 13 then 14,15,15 so if you look at my fret board now we have 13,14,15,15. I put that other 15 in there if you slide down your pinkie on the tab you can play 1 to 5. Or you have want a nice easy voicing right there. Then our next chord that we are going to go over is our F minor. Again you want to make sure you are writing all these tabs down at home of if you already know tabs for these chords you can just supply your own chords as well and skip this section. We start here we have our minor chord 13,11,13,13,13,13. "
