[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Place your fingers just behind the frets, press firmly with the fingertips, and keep your thumb relaxed behind the neck.

Pluck each string one at a time and listen for any that buzz or sound muted. Adjust and try again.

Practice

Suggested: 5 minutes

[Placeholder — replace with Matt's lesson]

Form the chord, strum once, then relax your hand. Repeat slowly, one strum every four beats.

Keep practicing this one. Marking the lesson complete means you've worked through it, not that you've mastered it.
