I decided to start at the beginning and watch all of Marty Shwarts' videos one each day. image https://youtu.be/HNSaXAe8tyg

I already knew the two Chords E Minor and Asus2: image image

If you already know the layout of the guitar and these two chords, you can safely skip this 16 minute video. ⏳

Chord pictures via: https://www.guitarhabits.com/how-to-play-and-apply-sus2-and-sus4-chords I think the notes should be displayed on the chords to help people remember them!

Beginner Acoustic Guitar Lesson 2 - The A Major Chord - 10 minutes to learn another chord ... image This is either a fast pace or painfully slow depending on your perspective. I'm fine with the video taking 10mins because I'm practicing. But it's interesting to see the drop out rate; the first video (above) has almost 6 Million views whereas this one has 1.7 Million. only 28% of the people who watched the first video, made it to the second one.
