Hi guys thanks for the advice, but I find as a beginner focusing only on chords and trying to memorize them can get a little boring without practicing on a song, so what I usually do is I pick out a few chords and practice them every day for an hour, before moving on to practicing a song. One thing I love is your sub conscious monitors everything, so instead of trying to consciously try to remember everything as soon as possible I notice that I remember chords effortlessly after a while of continuous practice.

Hi guys, I've got a little problem. I've been trying to play this song with a tab that I have, anyways over the music notations, you have letters such as Am, D etc. I'm guessing these are there to show you the best way to play the numbered notes, though I've reached a problem, I get to the point where the recommended chord position is E, however the numbers are as follows - 4 -1st string, 0 2nd string, 1 3rd string, and 0 6th string. So I went to a site to check the chords and this is what I found E - 1 - 3rd string, 2 - 4th string, 2 - 5th string......so needless to say this doesn't make sense, can someone please help me.
Another question, I was checking the resources of this site and beside each chord, there is a number written ie. 4 / 7 to the left of the chord, what do these numbers mean?
Thanks
