Glad I found this topic title because in my early 70's I was beginning to think it was Too Late to begin.

Anyway, I have a question about something from the early part of Anders' Part 1 tutorial.

in "Three High" he just uses one string for G Major and again one for E Minor. However the Guitartricks Essential Chords for Beginners sheet shows that these chords use more strings?

Is Anders easing us in or have another reason for this. He does this again regarding strumming D Major when he makes a big point of avoiding the Low E string but the A string isn't included on the chord chart either (maybe he is expecting that in time we'll learn D Major and strum only the 4 strings but for now avoiding just the Low E string will get us more in the ballpark of a pure D Major) ?
