Hopefully, you've done a little bit of practice

and you've got your D chord sounding really cool.

So, because I don't know any songs at all

that have just got one chord all the way through,

And this next one we're going to check out  is the chord A.

Now there's quite a few different ways  of fingering this chord.

So sometimes you'll see me playing A chord another way.

But the way that I'm going to show you  works really, really really good

for swapping between your D chord  and your A chord,

which is one of the biggest problems you have when you're a beginner,

You've still got to discover  that horrible bit of learning the guitar,

that "Oh my god I can't  move  my fingers fast enough"-stage.

So, what I'm going to do is I'm going to show you

my recommended way of playing an A chord,

and then I'm going to show you a couple of alternatives

that maybe you've learned before or whatever.

And if you really want to do one of those other ones, then do it,

but I will hopefully give you enough good reasons

to play the A chord with my suggested fingering.

So, let's go to a close-up and check out the A chord.

So here we are for a little close look up at our A chord.

Here we go. So the first thing we're going to do is go

through the fingers and get the fingers in the right places.

first finger is actually in the same place as it was for our D chord.

But, we're going to have to pull it back a little bit.

So it would be nice to have it right up  close to the fret,

So start with this one  in the middle of the fret.

So that's our first finger.  Pretty easy : second fret, third string.

Then second finger is going to reach over the top

you see, this is why we had to leave the space there,

so we've got space here for the second finger

And then third finger is sneaking also into the second fret,

So you can see they're all kind of getting  a bit squashed up here.

Now, you'll notice here  that the second finger and the third finger

are both really close to the second fret which is great,

and only the first finger has to be back a bit.

And this is the fingering for an A chord  that I really recommend.

which is the one that I did, is like this.

With the fingers one, two and three all in a row.

Then you can see that we can't get our second finger much further forward anyway

and it means that first finger is  miles back from the fret

and we'd have to press that really hard  in order to get that note to come out clearly.

Very likely it's going to sound like this

you're not going to get that note sounding very clear,

whereas if now you just see we swap first and second fingers over

straight away we can get those two fingers up close

and first finger you can kind of sneak it up.

Sneak it up the back there,  with the first finger

to try and get it as close to the fret  as we possibly can

So that's the old approach,  I think this is a much better approach

Some people even prefer to do it like this,

particularly if they've got really big fingers.

Some people find that a little bit easier.

it's possible, cause so long  as you're pressing down the dots, you're OK.

But I really, really recommend  that you do these fingers:

then reaching over with the second finger

remember that we check out  each note one at a time.

and make any corrections that we need to,

to make sure that every note sounds good.

Also, by looking at the neck diagram there,

you can also notice that we shouldn't play now

because that's got a little X at the top.

So we're not going to play the thickest string.

we're going to check out the possible things

that might make the notes sound funny  as we do one note at a time. So,

There's your open A string.  If there's a mistake there,

it means that your second finger is up too far,

so bring it down.  It should be an easy note to get.

Next note is the note with our second finger on,
