How to Play an E-Minor Chord on the Acoustic Guitar

Video Transcript

Hi, my name is Tom. This video is for expert village.com. And, in this installment we're going to talk about the forth chord, in how to play the guitar with the four chords eighty percent of the songs. The forth core is an E minor. For the E minor I only need two fingers. These two fingers here and I'm going to touch my second finger, on the second string from the top here, on the second frat. And, then my third finger I'm going to touch it right beside it on the next string. So, the one, two, three strings from the top, and on the second frat, and that's it. For an E minor chord. I'll strum all the strings. Actually, when you listen to that chord you'll notice it sounds different from the G,C,and D that we covered from before. A minor chord gives it all most a sad feel. That's why they call it a minor chord. It's got kind of a sad, or pensive or reflective...sound to it. So that's the E minor. And, that is the four chords you need to play a guitar.
