This article in the Mandolin Chords series of theMandolinTuner focuses on A minor (Am).

Below are nine positions you can play the Am chord on the mandolin, so get ready for serious practice!

The Am consists of:

  • The root, which for the A chord is of course A
  • The third, which for the A chord is C
  • The fifth, which for the A chord is E.

I suggest you practice playing them one by one, till you feel comfortable with all positions, as I am convinced you will then have covered 99% of what is needed for the chord. Do you actually need to know all variants presented here? Not really, but as music is really a language, the more variants you know the easier it will be for you to play and express yourself.

 

Hope you enjoy it!
