Lesson 14
A Minor and E Major Chords
Here are two new chords which are fingered in a very similar way. In fact, if you look carefully at the chord diagrams you can see that they are fingered the same way, except E is moved over 1 string (towards the bass strings).
It also happens that these two chords are often used together. When playing a song in A Minor, E Major is the V chord. You can see this in the song "Havana" below. And, as we'll see in the next lesson when playing a song in E Minor, A Major/Minor is the IV chord as you can see from the song "One in the Spirit". In other words, these chords (A Major/Minor and E Major/Minor) are often found together.
