Am chord refers to the minor chord composed of 6, 1, 3, namely major VI chord and minor I major chord. The Am chord playing method is that the middle finger of the left hand presses 4 strings and 2 levels, the ring finger presses 3 strings and 2 levels, and the index finger presses 2 strings 1 level.

Am is a sixth chord in c major, a neutral chord. If you take it as the main chord, it will be a minor. If the sixth chord appears in some parts of the major, it plays a role in connecting different chords. A chord of level 6 is like a bridge, which can connect almost all the chords in front, and the same is true in the back. It can be a continuous progression of chords, not rigid.

Extended data:

A "chord" is a combination of three or more sounds according to a third-degree interval relationship or a non-third-degree interval relationship.

Chords composed according to the relationship between three intervals are widely used because of the tension between sounds, full sound coordination and natural laws of overtones. Although chords composed of non-third intervals are not as widely used as those composed of third intervals, they are of positive significance to enriching harmony colors and establishing national harmony language, which should not be ignored.

The notes that make up a chord are called chords of a chord. In the basic form of chords, the lowest sound is called "root sound". Other sounds are named according to their interval relationship with the root sound.
