But don\u2019t worry about all the fancy names or music theory stuff. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-vivid-purple-color has-text-color has-link-color has-medium-font-size wp-elements-70aba52f714ea09d4f2f7d01d840b2dc\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40)\"><strong>We\u2019re just gonna focus on some super simple shapes. These shapes will let you play that A major chord <em>all<\/em> over the neck of the guitar.<\/strong> \ud83c\udfb6<\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>First, we\u2019ll start with the highest three strings. E, B, and G strings. You\u2019ve got a little shape happening on the second fret, and boom!\u2014you\u2019ve got your A major chord. Now, check this out: if you slide up to a little &#8220;stair step&#8221; shape further down the fretboard, you\u2019ve got another A major chord! \ud83d\udca5 It\u2019s the same notes, just in a different order. Who knew playing guitar could be this easy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also see a shape that looks like the chord D, but if you slide it up, it magically becomes A! It\u2019s like guitar magic! \u2728 Keep sliding that shape around and you can play all sorts of major chords\u2014A, B flat, C, and on and on. It\u2019s all just the same shape! When you hit the 12th fret, everything repeats like a little loop of cosmic guitar patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Oh, and we\u2019re not stopping there! Let\u2019s move to some different strings. Just lay your finger down on the second fret of the next set of strings, and boom\u2014A major chord is still with you, just with a slightly different sound. Keep an eye out for these diagonal lines too, because they\u2019re <em>everywhere<\/em> on the fretboard. \ud83c\udfb8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>See? It&#8217;s fun, it&#8217;s easy, and it\u2019s all about patterns. You don\u2019t even need to memorize all the names of the notes! It\u2019s like a musical adventure, where you\u2019re just hopping around the fretboard, finding A major all over the place. \ud83d\ude0e\ud83c\udfb6<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Have fun with it, and soon you&#8217;ll be shredding that A major chord all over the neck like a pro!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/musiccreationgenius\"><strong>Get the FREE PDF that shows all these shapes for A Major on our Patreon page<\/strong><\/a>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/musiccreationgenius\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/musiccreationgenius<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83c\udfb8 Let&#8217;s have some fun with this!
