Learn the C Chord

In this easy beginner guitar lesson we take a quick, in-depth look at how to play the C chord.

This lesson is part of an entire series designed to teach you all the fundamentals of guitar:

When you're first learning how to play guitar, I recommend practicing chord switching between two chords. That way, you'll be able to learn some easy 2 chord songs on guitar, and can focus on the strumming patterns and all that other (very important) stuff.

Once you learn a few two chord songs, you'll be able to expand your chord vocabulary and learn some 3 chord songs, etc. It's more important to focus on the whole picture (putting chords & strumming together) than getting carried away with how many chords you know - quality over quantity!

► Need help with the basic chords and strumming? My beginner guitar course will help you build a solid foundation one step at a time:

► Ready to take strumming to the next level? Strumming Made Simple (from Beginner To Advanced) will teach you how to play + sing at the same time, make your own patterns and more:

You have the easiest tutorial, thank you, I should never have set my guitar down for 11 years... gotta relearn it all... fyi : women have smaller fingers and fingertips, the steel strings often feel like pressing down on razor blades!! Delicate skin on finger tips...

I really like this video on the C chord. I've had my guitar for many years, and it just sits on its stand. This instrument and piano are two instruments that I really want to practice on.

Thank you so much for showing how to do proper strumming.

[ERiera]

I gotta spread a lot my fingers with this chord. I try to have a special angle but it is a tricky schord to switch with D, E and G. Excellent descripción, one more suscriber, Ive just downloaded the ebook, thank you very much. Greetings from Buenos Aires, Argentina!

All beginning tutorial plz .. for 1 hour cls and all beginning course

[joe-xmkc]

Urgh! Everytime i pressure my fingers the bottom string of it becomes muted. And everytime i adjust the finger that i pressure, the botton string becomes good but the string that i put my finger in, it also becomes muted!!

Edit: i did it, all you need is just practice and tip is to cut ur nails and practice everyday

[elfi]

i put my fingers in the right position and it is not difficult at all for me. BUT I JUST CANT GET THE SOUND BECAUSE I ALWAYS STRUM THE FIRST STRING BY MISTAKE AND AA.
