Hi there,
Could you tell us what other way you've been playing the chords? Could you please be more specific?
Lisa may teach the chords in a "simple" version at first but that's to help you ease into learning the full chords a little later. If you're a beginner guitar player, I highly suggest working through Lisa's lesson and try not to stray too far from it, especially if you have never played guitar before, or else you may end with a mixture of ideas and it can be confusing.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please contact us.
