Video Script:

the first chord in this guitar song is an Am chord

to play an Am chord you put your

1st finger, on the 2nd string, 1st fret

2nd finger, on the 4th string, 2nd fret

3rd finger, on the 3rd string, 2nd fret

You can find the Chord Tab on the bottom of the  video screen

with the right hand

“p” plays the 5th string

“i” plays the 3rd string

“m” plays the 2nd string

“a” plays the 1st string

the second chord is an F chord with an A in the bass

the symbol for this chord is written F oblique A

in order to achieve a nice smooth movement from the previous Am chord, keeping the Am shape

bar the 2nd and 1st strings at the first fret with the 1st finger

with the right hand

“p” plays the 5th string

“i” plays the 3rd string

“m” plays the 2nd string

“a” plays the 1st string

the first chord in the next measure is an Am6

again, to keep a smooth movement from the previous F chord with an A in the bass, keeping the left hand in the same position, put your

4th finger, on the 1st string, 2nd fret

with the right hand

“p” plays the 5th string

“i” plays the 3rd string

“m” plays the 2nd string

“a” plays the 1st string

To complete these guitar lesson notes, play the Am chord as on the 1st beat

playing all four chords together, notice the nice moving line on the top

AM F/A Am6 Am

The arrangement of the chords in this lesson could easily sit with the title “Jazz Chords lesson” or “Classical Guitar lesson” and be interesting to players of both genres.
