The Am Chord!

-----The Am chord or A minor chord is composed of three notes. They are A, C, and E. There are many versions of this chord and they are shown below. First try to get comfortable placing the fingers from the left hand on the right frets. Then strum across the strings working to make the whole chord sound clean and even. Don’t feel bad if you’re having trouble getting the hang of it. It takes time and practice.
-----Open Chord – A chord in which some of the strings are played and not covered.
-----Bar Chord – A chord in which most of the strings are played.
-----Power Chord – A chord in which two or three notes of the chord are played.
