Do you absolutely hate the C chord? Does it sound like this when you play it? Sometimes you find it hard to move your fingers. Well, I'm going to show you an easy C chord that requires only two fingers. What you're going to do is you're going to put your first finger on the B string, the second string here at the first fret, and then you're going to put your second finger on the second fret of the fourth string and then what you're going to do is only strum the bottom four strings. Now does this sound as nice as the full C chord? No, but it's a lot easier to play and you can always build your way back up to the full C chord. So if you're an absolute beginner, give that a try and start having fun with songs you love.
