Chords / Acordes

Key of A

(These are traditional open chords. They are called "open" because on most of
the chords, there are usually some strings that are not being pressed on. If
they're not being pressed on, they are obviously being played "open". The
exception here are BARRE CHORDS. For barre chords, your first finger is
always going to be pressing on almost an entire fret. These are usually the first
chords you'll learn because they are easier to play.)
(Estos acordes son acordes "abiertos" tradicionales. Se llaman "abiertos" porque
la mayoria de estos acordes incluyen cuerdas que no estan apretadas con
ningun dedo. Esas cuerdas son tocadas "abiertas" o "al aire" y es por eso que
estos acordes son llamados "abiertos". La excepcion son los acordes con
CEJILLA. En estos acordes, necesitas poner tu primer dedo sobre casi todas las
cuerdas en un traste.)
