I love your thorough and down to my level teaching method. I play BB blossom but I really need more backup skill. This lesson is perfect!! Thanks! Im sure I’ll go gold soon. When you play the C chord at the first two frets, fretting the 1st and second strings only, plucking just three strings, do you fret with index and middle (easier for me) or is it better form to fret with middle and ring? Maybe I’m splitting hairs but I’ve learned mostly in a vacuum up to now and I’m trying to correct bad habits.

I would actually recommend playing it with the index on the 2nd string and ring on the 1st string, like you would if you were playing the full C chord. The other ways work too!

That’s what I thought. I’m going back throu my repertoire and correcting those places where I’ve been using the wrong finger(s). Impressed with the quick response.
Thanks,
Mac
