Hi. I have been trying and trying to properly strum a A-shaped major chords and find it rather difficult. Does anyone have tricks for me!?

For example, C Major on 3rd fret 5th string requires 2nd-3rd-4th string on the 5th fret. How do you place your hand!? I manage to do it with three seperate fingers but I see teachers with only one or two...How can you successfully do that WITHOUT touching the 1rst string!? If I place 3 fingers, eventually it won't work on higher frets....

This site is very challenging but also very rewarding! Thanks guitartricks!

Simon.
