![[image loading]](http://img24.yfrog.com/img24/4695/49985074.png) Well if you can't see it, I have to play an open string for E and the first fret for B. Do I pick pluck both of them at the same time or individually. It doesn't correct when I play them both together. Am i doing something wrong? Help would be appreciated.  Edit: I don't know why final fantasy 7 advent children keeps appearing when i make screenshots but it's an awesome movie so whatever    | ||

it is the same technique for all chords, just look closely at what notes it wants you to hold. | ||

Look at the sheet music - you are clearly are playing chords. Some of them technically aren't chords (chords require three notes) but you are still playing notes at the same time. I think whether or not you "strum" just depends on whether you are playing this with a plectrum or with your fingers, but you are most definitely playing the notes in question at the same time. (Edit: just noticed navane's post - go with what he says!) Good luck have fun with your new guitar! | ||

As it's written, I would use a pick and just play both notes at the same time with it. | ||

I laughed (if it was supposed to be an insult) Its worth learning how to use a pick and still finger pick (ie. using your thumb and index to hold the pick to play the bass note, and using your other fingers on your right hand to strum/fingerpick the other strings. Its a talent that will come in handy over time for some songs. | ||
