Minor Chords
The next set of chords we're going to learn are minor chords. Minor
chords are like major chords, except you change one note of the chord
to make it minor. Minor chords tend to have a "sadder" sound to them.
A Minor (Am)
This chord is really easy to play. Simply place your middle finger on the
2nd fret of the fourth or top string and let the bottom three strings ring
completely open.
D Minor (Dm)
To play a Dm chord, place your index finger on the 1st fret of the second
string, your ring finger on the 2nd fret of the third string, and your middle
finger on the 2nd fret of the fourth or top string. Let the bottom string ring
completely open.
