Press your finger on each fret. Then release it. All fingers should be in contact with the string at all times. Go!

Hi Chord Conquerors! Is there anything specific you'd like me to teach this week? Any particular chords or chord progressions that are giving you grief that you'd like me to make a video of? Drop your comments below.

Hi fellow conquerors! I've made a neat little video teaching how I play this classic song from the 1940 Disney classic 'Pinocchio'. There are a bunch of chords crammed into just 18 seconds of arrangement so you'll need all of the techniques to get this one under control! - guiding - preparation - landing (looking where you're going to land, not where you're at) - learning the chords before trying to hack your way through - pivoting I play a jazzy (difficult) arrangement at the beginning, and then I segue straight into an easier version with a click track. I've provided a pdf of the simple arrangement here. Also, the jazzy version uses exactly the same chords but I just change the rhythm to jazz it up a little. Let your fingers fly!

https://youtube.com/shorts/4qITnpek7KI?feature=share Pivoting just means we keep one or more fingers in the same position when we change chords. Many players lift of all of their fingers when they change from chord to chord without realising that they could have left one or a couple of them on. Using pivots speeds up chord changes and makes them more accurate and easier!

Our first challenge is changing chords from Em to Am without any buzzing or muted strings at 60bpm. Get yourself over to the Classroom and get started on it. Don't forget to post your own video of the challenge in the Wins section.
