Читать книгу Banjo For Dummies - Bill Evans - Страница 26

A chord is three or more notes sounded together. Chords support a melody and are the building blocks for accompanying other musicians. The best way to begin your playing adventures is to become familiar with well-used chords such as G, C, and D7. A comfortable left-hand position makes forming these chords much more fun. Let your thumb touch the top of the back of the banjo neck, relax your shoulder and elbow into your body, and be sure you're using the tips of your fingers to press the strings just behind the frets — now you're in business.

In Chapter 3, you can dig deeper into finding a comfortable left-hand position and get used to fretting chords up and down the banjo neck.
