huesta The proper way to hold the pick is:
*Close your picking hand and make a loose fist. *Your thumb should remain unfolded beside your forefinger. *With your other hand, slide the pick between your thumb and forefinger. *The pick should be located behind the knuckle of the thumb. *Make sure the pointed end of the pick is pointing directly away from your fist. *Have the pick protruding by about a half an inch and hold it firmly. *Lastly, position your picking hand over the soundhole. I hope this helps. |

Not a problem. It will feel awkward at first, but you'll get used to it soon.
It's better than getting used to other improper methods of holding a pick and having problems with more complicated strumming patterns later on. Stick with the proper way and you're good to go. Goodluck with learning. |

| What you call split chords, e.g. A/G, refers to the bass note in the chord. The note past the / is to be played as the bass note of the chord. For example the A chords is comprised of the notes (top string to bottom) A (bass note/E string not played), E, A, C, & E. A/G would be comprised of G (bass note), A, E, A, C, & E. If you are playing with a bass guitar, the bass guitar plays that bass note and you play the chord as normal. | ||

Chord Combo's
Key of Song such as E Then skip next two = F, G = A Then the 7th of the next = B7th Your 3 chord combo = E, A, B7th Same process for all keys. |

| Split chord symbols such as E/A, are a pop way of simplifying more technical chord names. E/A can be an AM7th with a 9th for instance. | ||

Hey stratgirl, I don't know what riley is on about, the answer to your question is summed up very well by starcros.
Hey agabus, the most common chord combination used in most rock, pop, and blues is the 1, 4, 5, eg in the key of 'A' 'A' is the 1st, 'D' is your 4th and 'E' is your 5th. played in a sequence of 4 bars of the 1st, 2 bars of the 4th, 2 bars of the 1st, 1 bar of the 5th, 1 bar of the 4th and 1 and 1 half bars of the 1st coming back to the 5th for the last half of the bar. A popular relative minor progression in the key of 'A' is as follows, all played 1 bar in length: - 'A', 'AMaj7', 'A7', 'D', 'Dm', 'A', 'E', 'E7', 'E6', 'E', back to the 'A' and start again. Enjoy, good luck |
