Video Question: Open Chords
Return to Video Question and Answer ListingsGet the Flash Player to see this player.
Date: April 9th, 2009 | Length: 2.28 | Instructor: Jim DeemingAquariarty asked "Hi Steve, I've noticed quite a few open chords where one or two of the strings are x'd out (not included) on the diagram of how to play the chord. My question is how do you play these chords ? Especially if you're strumming, it seems impossible to miss out strings other than the 1st or 6th ? Thanks."

View ResponseString Buzz - November 29th, 2007 (4 minutes, 80 seconds)Rhoadsfreak10 asks, "I am having a problem with string buzz, especially when I'm picking something aggressively. It isn't due to fretting notes and chords in the wrong place because I don't have that problem when not being aggressive. I have raised the action on the guitar, to the point where they are almost more suited to playing slide but that hasn't helped. Any advice?" View ResponsePinging While Tuning - July 16th, 2009 (2 minutes, 31 seconds)Colton582 said "Sometimes when i tune my strat i hear a ping, however my string is not broken and my nut is fine.
