Am
A Minor · 4 fingerings
Lower the third of a major triad by a semitone and you get the minor triad — the same three-note shape with a darker, more introspective character. Am turns up constantly in rock, pop, folk, and film music, usually as the emotional counterweight to the major chords around it. It's the other chord shape worth learning first.
