    In the first lesson, how you described the strumming pattern did not match the words on the screen.

    the B chord is one of the more difficult chords to play . Try this - barre the second fret with the first finger (barre means lay the finger flat across all 4 strings) then put tip of 2nd finger on C string 3rd fret and tip of 3rd finger on G string 4th fret - its not easy but keep trying and it will get there with practice. if all else fails you can cheat and play just the bottom 3 strings using the Em chord shape moved down one string but dont play the A string

    There were too many new chords to learn at once for a beginner with too little time to practice each. To practice myself before lesson 3 I would need a reminder of a diagram for each to practice from.
