When playing notes the following rules should be observed;
1. Use the fingertips, directly behind frets.
2. Hold Strings firmly against the fretboard.
3. Use the correct fingering (i.e. 1st finger = 1st fret, 2nd finger = 2nd 
fret, 3rd finger = 3rd fret, etc.)
4. Fret hand should remain close to the strings at all times (i.e. When an 
open string is played, your fingers must remain in close proximity.)

EXAMPLE #4

The following uses root notes throughout.

   Am          G           F           E
|——2—2—2—2——|——0—0—0—0——|———————————|———————————|
|———————————|———————————|——3—3—3—3——|——2—2—2—2——|>
|———————————|———————————|———————————|———————————|>
|———————————|———————————|———————————|———————————|
   1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4 

EXAMPLE #5

Example five uses the same chord progression, but with different bass notes. 
This is the first example so far, that uses notes other than root notes.

 Am          G           F           E
|——2—2———2——|——0—0—2—0——|———————————|————————0——|
|——————2————|———————————|——3—3—0—3——|——2—2—3————|>
|———————————|———————————|———————————|———————————|>
|———————————|———————————|———————————|———————————|
   1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4     1 2 3 4 

Remember that the progression finishes on an A Minor (Am) Chord, so you will 
finish on an  A note (root note of the A Minor chord).
