This lesson will show you how to play the A-major chord with a single finger (through barring the 2nd fret with your index finger). I'll show you exactly how to play the chord like this, what the benefits of using this technique are, and when it should & should not be used. Finally, I'll play through a handful of song snippets that show this in action.

Here's the songs I play in this lesson that demo this technique:

4:15 Jack and Diane (simple)
5:21 All Along the Watchtower
6:56 Boogie-woogie riff
7:48 Fall Line by Jack Johnson
9:02 Turtles All the Way Down by Sturgill Simpson
10:14 Freeway Time in LA County Jail by Sublime
11:19 Jack and Diane (advanced)
