Learning an A Minor Chord

how to play an A minor chord
Here is another chord that gets used all the time in music, the Aminor chord. Playing this shape shouldn't be too hard: start by placing your second finger on the second fret of the fourth string. Now, place your third finger on the second fret of the third string. Lastly, place your first finger on the first fret of the second string. Strum the bottom five strings (being careful to avoid the sixth), and you'll be playing an Aminor chord.

As with all previous chords, be sure to check each string to make sure all the notes in the chord are ringing clearly.
