Chord Playing Tips: An easy way to remember how to play this guitar chord is by first starting at the C Major Chord.  Then all you do is move your second and third fingers down one string while keeping your first finger on the first fret, second string. Be sure that you are pressing down on the strings hard enough. You should play each string one at a time to make sure you have a nice clean sound. If any of the strings buzz or sound muted, then something is not right.
