This is probably a stupid question, but the 4 chords you use for this lesson, are they made by striking the two strings at once? I watched where you placed your fingers on your left hand, but are you striking two strings each time. Sorry if the questions stupid!!

Contrast that with lead playing where we mostly play single notes at a time. You are a little ahead of my beginner lessons at the moment but I will be introducing concepts like chords and also reading tabs and chord charts in a few lessons time if you can wait You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
