Hi Robert! Good question - actually you are still playing an Am chord, notes: C E then A. On that pattern, like you said, you're not plucking the 4th string - so you could not press it and it wouldn't change the sound. I like to practice placing the chord either way to keep options open and for consistent habits but totally optional in that case.
@@PierreHacheMusic thx. I’m doing your fundamentals practice near daily. I think it’s helping. My wife has long been telling me I need to learn scales. She now laughs when I do the C major scale. What’s my next scale?
@@robertkidd7177 Awesome good for you! and thanks! That"s a great question - An updated scales video is actually on my todo list. C pentatonic, D major, Or an A minor scale are all good choices - feel free to look them up or wait for my video! :)
