2 Week ‘Kick Start’ Beginner Guitar Course
– with Mark McKenzie Part 6
“The A Chord”
The A chord is an easy chord to remember. I think of it as ‘Three in a Row’.
There are a few different ways you can play this chord and I show you a couple and explain them in this video. The important thing is to find the way that works best for you.
Sincerely,
Point taken, thank you

Hi Tony, sorry for the inconvenience. So you’re on ipad. And where are you located? Are you able to send a screen image of the page to support@jamorama.com? That will help us to figure out why it’s not working for you.Thanks.

Hi Ernest, what type of device are you trying to play the videos on?
Very nice and calming approach Tks
Hi Mark,
Very simple and practical method. I love your video illustrations. It’s like having a teacher in front of you.
Hi Mark,
I need to tune my guitar at first before i start learning and playing. Could you please let me know how I can tune my guitar.
Thanks
Kamrul
Hey Kamrul, there is a tuner on the site here: http://jamorama.com/tuner/
Can you also use your pinky finger to do the A chord, so it will look like playing the A chord without using your index (pointer) finger but using your pinky finger instead?
You can if that’s what works for you… and it will help to play it that way when you come to the A shape barre chord later on down the track.
I love these lessons..you teach nicely..thank you
Very good Mark, I’m 75 year old and learning the guitar, I love your course, but don’t have much time to practice, thank you Mark
This is the chord that gave me a hard time besides the C chord. I usually use 2 fingers for the forming of the A.
Your teaching is precise,,,,,,,I love it
helpful and great for beginners
I love your lessons, they are easy to understand and follow.
Hi Mark,
i’v got large fingers so found it hard to place them 1 2 3 as #3 falls over fret 2, so after a bit of work i found it easier to place 1 3 and then squeek 2 down through middle, helped me alot maybe will help other new-bs.
Good day.I’m familiar with major chords but not much with minor chords.and I want to improve on fast strumming.thank you
Once again, this is a chord I know quite well, but I practice often changing quickly!!!!
