(below is a chart for the chords, including finger placement) *KEY* X = omit the string (don’t play it) 0 = open string A Chord: ——-X——— ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (pointer finger) ——-X——— ——-X——— B Chord: ——-X——— ——-4——— (ring finger) ——-4——— (ring finger) — these three are a barre placement ——-4——— (ring finger) ——-2——— (pointer finger) ——-X——— C Chord: ——-0——— ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-0——— ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-3——— (ring finger) ——-X——— D Chord: ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-3——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (pointer finger) ——-0——— ——-X——— ——-X——— E Chord: ——-0——— ——-0——— ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-2——— (middle finger) ——-2——— (ring finger) ——-0——— F Chord: ——-1——— (pointer finger) ——-1——— (pointer finger) — these two are a barre placement …

    Dude. You Rock!!!! Awesome, Been Looking For Someone To Be Doing Exactly What You Are. Actually Teaching People How To Play! Thanks Man!

  • Latasha Richardson 11 years ago

    This is the best video for learning how to play ever….I just bought an acoustic guitar because I always wanted to learn since I am a singer and I take a few minutes each day to just start the basics. Thanks for putting the camera so close so I can actually see what you are doing!!!!!!! AWESOME….Keep up the wonderful work!!!

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    A lot, unless you restring the guitar accordingly. That’s the same situation Hendrix started out with. Just make sure you string everything correctly to accommodate you flipping the guitar and you should be fine, aside from any knob placement (if you’re playing an electric)

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    Just practice the alphabet. It’ll improve your muscle memory and your actual chord memory. Start with A, then adjust to B, then C and so on. After about a week, and a some beat finger tips, you’ll be amazed at the results. Try to do at least 20 minutes per day, but go for longer if you can.

  • PrettyFreakinCreepy 11 years ago

    Dude, the fucks wrong with you?Here is someone spending their precious time to teach complete strangers how to play the guitar for free,(something he could make money doing),and you’re calling him a gay emo?He doesnt even look emo and he played freaking Nirvana in the intro to this.Do you know how disgusting you sound? “Yeah, your video helped me learn something in about half an hour that I could have spent loads of money and hours learning without your help, but I don’t like your clothes.”

  • George Gzirishvili 11 years ago

    My fingers were fucked on B chord.

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    So happy to hear that the videos help. Just make sure you practice, practice, practice. Make sure you make it fun too. Keep on rockin’

    damn my fingers hurt .but i gotta push through the pain 

  • Kidd Cobain 11 years ago

    hey man you got me as a subscriber because your learning technique is much more easier to understand and comprehend.took some notes and will leave a comment for you on each of your videos as i complete each “installment”. keep up the good work and please don’t stop what you are doing. you make it ” so easy a blonde could do it ” cheezy gieco moment but thanks

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    And my inability to understand your comments has nothing to do with how much you think you clarify yourself, (although to be honest, you suck at that too…) but rather your completely lamentable skill at forming a complete, grammatically correct sentence. I mean… just try to make one, singular sentence that doesn’t contain any errors. Just one.

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    Well… see, again, I’m having trouble comprehending your comment. Are you paying me the compliment of saying I’ll potentially go on to one day win the Nobel Prize? If this is the case, thank you. That’s very kind and grown up of you. However, if you’re again trying to insult me somehow, I must again advise you to clearly phrase the sentence before submitting the button. I understand English may not be your first language… but surely if you’re trying to “dish it,” you must first learn how to.

  • PMoron60 11 years ago

    Who needs to grow up? Because if you ask a normal person they will say the teacher supposedly future literature nobel prize winner. By the way I am calling future literature nobel prize winner just explaining since you have shown a lot of trouble comprehending my comments.

  • PMoron60 11 years ago

    I wasn’t insulting I did learn something but I still think that you are a gay emo.

  • PMoron60 11 years ago

    You’re the one that’s wrong my friend I did not refer to your channel or the videos that you have made over four years. I’m saying that you don’t have a life because scanning through your comments whenever somebody insults you reply. When a normal person would get over it and live his life.

  • dsadad21 11 years ago

    im lefthanded, does it make any major difference if i play a righty guitar upside down?

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    One last thing… I know that you’re only 17… but please, for the sake of my viewers, as well as myself and the people you’ll meet later in your life, please… grow up.

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    Not too sure what you meant by this one… Did you mean that you DID in fact learn something? In which case, you’re certainly welcome, and I’m glad I could be of help. If you were trying to insult me again, I would recommend that you plan out your sentences before hitting the post button. Proof read them. Trust me. You need it.

  • PapDaq 11 years ago

    A guitar teacher? No. I have steered you wrong, friend. I certainly lack the qualifications to be a guitar teacher. An English teacher is what I was hinting at. A type of teacher you may not have come across often, judging by your consistent lack of grammatical aptitude. Am I still using words that are too big? And I would hardly constitute 10 videos over a span of 4 years as having no life. This is just something I enjoy doing. Also, I think it’s comical that you view “emo and gay” as insults.
