The C chord is a bit harder than the D7 chord (see the preceding section) because you use one more left-hand finger to fret this chord. Here, the left-hand index frets the 2nd string, 1st fret — just as with the D7 chord. However, now you move your middle finger to the 4th string, 2nd fret, and you also need to fret the 1st string at the 2nd fret. Be careful that you fret the 4th and 2nd strings with enough of a vertical angle with your left-hand fingers so you don't block the sound of the open 3rd string.

Your hand should look something like Figure 3-7 when you fret the D7 and C chords.

Seeing is believing, so if you're having trouble figuring out how to fret these chords, take a look at Video Clip 2, where I provide left-hand technique tips and show you how to fret the C and D7 chords.
