Everyone loves the guitar...whether a soft ballet or a hard rock- the guitar is definitely an instrument that has had people listening for years. The guitar is learned at all ages and if you are one that is practicing the chords, then you definitely will want to learn how o strike an A minor.

The A minor chord is played with your index finger and your middle finger. Your index finger is referred to as your third finger and your middle finger is referred to as your second finiger. You will use your fingers on the strings and on the frets. Frets are the metal ridges along the guitar's fingerboard.

Place your first or index finger behind the first fret on the 2nd string. Next place your second or middle finger behind the 2nd fret on the 4th string and you are ready to strum.

While the A minor chord is fairly easy to play it does take practice. It is important to practice each day. You should spend at least ten minutes each day practicing the chord until your fingers and mind are completely comfortable striking the chord. Once you've practiced for your ten minutes, then practice some other chords as well. Remember when first starting learning right is everything. Make sure to follow the guidelines to build a solid foundation. There are online courses that are offered and can be found to be very helpful. Good luck and enjoy!
