Video Question: C Chord Finger Positioning

Return to Video Question and Answer Listings

Date: April 20th, 2007 | Length: 5 | Instructor: Jeff Booth

I am doing good with the G chord, and the D7 watching Steve. For some reason, my meaty sausages are having a hard time with the C chord. My 3rd finger keeps mashing the D, and I cannot get a crip grip on the B..... Another benefit of being a member of JamPlay is the video response section. Our expert staff fields questions from our members and provides video responses each week.

Humestar101 asks, "Hey Jamplay, Jake here, and I wanted to know how to use a talk box. I got the Rocktron Banshee, but not the Banshee 2, just the first one. I hooked it up, turned it on, and...it didn't interact with my guitar at all. Do i absolutely NEED a mic to use it? If not, what do i do? Thanks for helping out a desperate guitarist!" View Response
