How to Play an A Chord on Electric Guitar

Video Transcript

"Hi. This is Tom. This video is for Expert Village. This is how to play short cuts on the electric guitar. I have talked about one bar chord. Second bar chord is another major chord. This is based on the A. If you have taken any guitar lessons you have learned that this chord sounds like this. If you play it rock and roll style or as a Barr, the first thing you do is take your index finger, place it across the home neck so you get a good sound on each string. Take your third finger and place it across the four highest strings. Skip a fret. Do not play the low E string, leave it out. Just play the middle strings. Practice going up and down the neck, skipping a fret in between. Make sure you get a good ringing sound and no buzzing."
