"C" Chord Exercise
The above exercise shows what the C chord looks like when written in note form:
(3 notes stacked like a snowman.)
It is important to notice where the C chord is placed on the staff.
Also notice the bass clef, which reminds you to play with your left hand.
Now it's time to play the exercise.....
1. Place your left hand in the C chord position.
2. Place the correct fingers on the C chord notes:
(#5 little finger, #3 middle finger and #1 thumb.)
3. Look at the exercise and play the chords as you see them.
4. Don't forget to rest for 1 beat when you see the rest sign.
Practice this exercise several times before listening to what it should sound like.
DO NOT listen to the exercise before you start playing.
Listening to the exercise BEFORE you practice will SLOW your progress because it is
easy to mimmick what it sounds like, instead of reading the notes and symbols.
If you want to succeed, then please follow this advise.
After you have practiced this exercise, you may listen to what it should sound like and then use it to correct yourself if needed.
