MICHAEL PLUNKETT: Hi. This is Michael Plunkett
on behalf of Expert Village. Now, we're going
to go ahead now and take a look at our next
chord in the series, the G. We're going to
look at it in our open shape. Again, the lowest
or farthest down shape we can use on the neck.
We start out--this time, we actually are going
to be using the 6th or the E string, our low
E. We're going to start with our second or
middle finger there. Next, we come up the
next string, the 5th string. We're going to
put our first finger. This is going to be
on the 2nd fret. By the way, this is the 3rd
fret. We've got two open strings here in the
middle and we just play those without pressing
down on any frets. And on the last two, we're
on the third fret, the same as our second
finger was, and we're using three and four
on those two highest strings. So when we put
it all together, it going to look something
like that. Now, this third finger is actually
optional. You can play this pressed down or
you can even play it open too but I found
it has a little bit more rich of a sound when
you leave it down. That's the G open shape.
