Free Beginning Guitar Lessons - Bm Chord
I'm gonna introduce to you the B Minor Chord.
B minor again like most chords we have different ways to make it.
This is the one what we're gonna do right now.
Take a look, first finger, second finger and both my pinky and my third finger next to
each other -- that's the B minor chord.
Give me a tip.
It looks like the A minor chord made with the pinky, the third finger and second finger
and just moved up two frets and then that first finger -- A minor, B minor.
When you play this chord you'll gonna strum down those four notes so try it with me now.
First finger on the second fret first string, second finger on the third fret second string
now, your pinky goes on the third string that's the fourth fret and right next to it is the
third finger.
Take your fingers off.
Try this.
See what works better for you for now.
Try putting the pinky and the third finger down first and then the other two fingers.
For some people, that's easier.
So that's the pinky that's the fourth fret, the pinky in the third string on the fourth
fret, that's the third and fourth strings and then on the third fret second string the
second finger.
Just try both ways and see which one seems to come easier for you.
Eventually, this will gonna look like nothing on so all of those are just help on the way
to getting it smooth.
No time when you're strumming to put your fingers on one at a time.
Take your fingers off and put them on, B minor.
Do it again.
Fingers off, put them on.
Getting that first finger second fret, third finger third fret and both the third and fourth
fingers are on the fourth fret.
Do it again, B minor.
Okay, we're gonna mixed it up with some other chords.
I want you to get a little practice going from one chord to another.
Let's start with the A minor, now go to your B minor, you can move all your fingers around,
go to A minor --good!
just slide them all down.
The A minor, you can include that fifth string for the base note and then B minor, okay -- A
minor to D, remember D, A minor, D, B minor, E, B minor.
You got it?
Quite and hear each note, this sound clear?
We're going to the E now and A minor, D, B minor to E. Four strums each A minor, B minor,
A minor to D, B minor to E, B minor to E, A minor to D.
We're going to B minor next and then on E. Okay.
Try that B minor one last time.
So go ahead and practice it up without looking at the video for a while just get use to putting
the finger there and take them off and put them back on.
I'll see you in the next video.
