how do you play these please help i know its muted but still confused

 

[Ed Seith]

This is a basic octave.

On your fretting hand, use your index for the "5" note (D) and your ring finger or pinky for the "7" (also D, but one octave up). Lay your ring finger down a little bit so a teeny bit is touching the middle string to mute it. Then just strum or play it like a power chord.

If that explanation doesn't help, let me know and I'll do a quick video tomorrow.

lately I've been trying to use my ring finger but normally I used the pinky. it was easier for me to mute, get better sound and move around.

To add to what Ed is saying here - when you're fretting on the A String with your Index finger, you can use the very tip of the finger to touch the underside of the Thick E string to mute it It means you can really go for it with your strumming

this chord can move it up or down frets and it can be played on with the low E and D strings. Also on the upper 2 B and E strings, there's 1 more fret spacing, so then the pinky. it sounds to me like playing 1 string but louder, maybe cause it is doubled up.

Assuming your index finger is on fret5 and ring on 7 you can press on the a string and hold it like a bar chord without applying pressure

It is played by the fleshy part of your index lightly touching the middle string to mute it.. that way the D and High D can ring out in unison without any resonance or dissonance and have perfect pitch

Like the G chord
It was how I first learned it
