Playing Versions 3 & 4 of a C Chord on Guitar

Video Transcript

Hi! Joe Wiles here with the Rock and Roll conservatory, on behalf of Expert Village. We just talked about the first two versions of a "C" chord. We're going to continue that, and talk about the next two versions of a "C" chord. Where we left off was barring the third fret, and playing an "A" chord form. We start with "C", "A", and the next one as you can guess, is going to be a "G" chord form. Applying the rule, you go to the highest fret that we're currently fretting, in this case it's the fifth fret. Bar it, (and) play the "G" chord form. Although you're playing a "G" chord form, you're still playing a "C" chord. Apply the rule again, and go to the highest fret you're currently fretting; in this case it's the eighth fret. Bar it, play the next chord form in the sequence which is an "E" - "C", "A", "G", "E" - play it, (and) that's the fourth version of a "C" chord. This is a "C" chord using an "E" chord form. For quick review, the first four chord forms go like this: "C", "C" chord with an "A" form, "C" chord with a "G" form, and then "C" chord with an "E" form. In the next segment, we're going to talk about the last version of a "C" chord. We'll see you there.
