Lesson Four - Chords

Keep the following in mind when working through Lesson Four:

• Memorize each chord.  Know it by name and know how to hold it.
• Check to make sure each of the notes of the chord work.
• Play on the very tips of your fingers. Do not extend your fingers.  Instead, bend each joint.
• Use the proper finger!
• When switching chords, be sure to strum the chord on the beat that it shows up.  Even if you don't have it completely down, strum it anyways!  You're not just working on holding chords, you're working on rhythm too.
