Aelo37 :
I am just about as newbie as they get but this method of learning new chords makes the most sense out of any video I have seen on youtube. Can someone here explain to me what a “thumb mute” is? Someone told me that I should be thumb muting certain chords and I am not sure what they meant.
mikemef :
good way of learning ,cheers man !
locojacket :
toneslinger, thanks a ton for showing this to me! I already knew a couple chords, but never thought how to link them to learn more without struggling through songs that have them.
This makes learning a whole lot easier. Thanks!

@besurasinger Keep practicing.. everyone who just start playing guitar always first struggle through these bar chord..
Pressuring your thumb from behind with your index while playing the b chord may help get you start..

I practice with a similar method, though I will change to this, as it is easier to add the chords you have learnt to 1 piece of paper.
Thanks
