Hold And Strum

Comfort first — the rest follows.

  • Tuck the body against your strumming forearm; let your fretting hand stay light.
  • Strum about an inch above the soundhole with the pad of your index finger.
  • Reentrant tuning means the G string is high (above the C string), not low.

Three Chords To A Song

Most beginner songs live in C, F, G, and Am.

  • C major: third finger, third fret, A string. That's it.
  • Am: second finger, second fret, G string. That's it.
  • F: first finger on E string fret 1, second finger on G string fret 2.

Recommended First Win

Change is the lesson.

  • Hold C for four strums, then Am for four. Repeat without stopping.
  • Try the chord library to see C, F, G, Am with finger positions.
  • Use Coach Joy if a chord muffles a string.
