In this Ab minor chord lesson taught by me, Jackie Clark. I teach the notes, the correct fingers to use, and how it plays and sounds. The video is part of my chords course in the membership section of the site.
Chords form a very important part of playing music. They add depth to music when used as bass cords and singing are essential.
Imagine being asked to accompany someone who wants to sing. Unless you know a lot of chords it is difficult to change from the key you might usually play a piece of music in. When you know a lot of chords changing the key is not a problem.
With a guitar, it is easy to change to any key. Stick a capo on the neck and play the chord shapes usually used. With the piano, you have to know a lot of chords.
