Step One
First, take your first finger on the first fret of the second string. Remember: the order of the strings goes from the thinnest to the thickest.
And when we say second fret, we don’t mean on the second fret itself, we mean in the space just behind it, closer to the headstock of the guitar.
Using the two diagrams above, you’d be putting your first finger on the orange string in that orange finger zone. Like this:
Step Two
Put your second finger on the second fret of the fourth string.
Pause for just a second. Notice anything about that second finger? Anna has her finger curved really nicely, up and over the first three strings, so she’s pushing down on the fourth string with just her finger tip.
This will help her get a nice, clean sound out of that A minor chord.
