There are two different fingerings
for the A chord. Both are going to be useful in different
situations, but the one that bars the 4th, 3rd, and 2nd strings
with your first finger should be the number one choice. (fig.
2) The reason being, that cramming 3 fingers into 1 fret is
a little awkward. Bend back the first joint of your first
finger just enough to deaden the 1st string. (fig. 3) When
you do use 3 fingers, turn your hand to the side and you will
find the chord a little easier. (fig.1)
