Welcome to episode 311 of Erk Pod. On this episode, Erk talks about his return to his place of employment, talks about service disruptions & how they could last all day, talks about his quest to learn the guitar, does housekeeping & more. There’s a bit of ambient noise thrown in for good measure on this episode on this episode that was recorded over a period of 2 days. All opinions are Erk’s own, insert usual disclaimer *here*.

The fingering on the A chord will make sense when you try to switch between it and other chords more fluidly, especially the E chord.
And yes, you could (technically) play it by just fretting all the strings with one finger. That’s called a barre chord and they do have their place.
