0:00:08.583,0:00:09.669
So.

0:00:09.669,0:00:10.688
If we take our sequence

0:00:10.688,0:00:13.153
G, C, G, D

0:00:13.153,0:00:16.333
what we need to learn now is how to move[br]our triad shape around.

0:00:16.333,0:00:18.518
So, the very first one that we looked at,

0:00:18.518,0:00:19.845
the very first shape,

0:00:19.845,0:00:21.034
. . .

0:00:21.034,0:00:22.513
the one down on the 3rd fret,

0:00:22.513,0:00:24.229
we already talked about that the root note

0:00:24.229,0:00:26.943
was the note on the thinnest string

0:00:26.943,0:00:28.608
at the 3rd fret.

0:00:29.161,0:00:30.671
So, that chord becomes G

0:00:30.671,0:00:34.457
because the note at the third fret on the thinnest string is the note G.

0:00:34.457,0:00:35.957
So, that becomes G chord

0:00:35.957,0:00:39.297
or G Major, or G Major triad,[br]you can call it what you like,

0:00:39.297,0:00:41.145
or just G is OK as well.

0:00:41.975,0:00:42.901
So, that's G, now.

0:00:42.901,0:00:46.559
Let's say that we want to use that same shape[br]and make it a C chord.

0:00:46.559,0:00:47.870
Now, the thing that you...

0:00:47.870,0:00:50.356
The importance of knowing [br]where your root note is that

0:00:50.356,0:00:53.410
all you have to do is move that[br]root note to the note C

0:00:53.410,0:00:55.564
and you've got yourself a C chord. So,

0:00:55.564,0:00:58.139
the root note was on the[br]thinnest string at the third fret,

0:00:58.139,0:00:59.687
that was the note G.

0:00:59.687,0:01:02.081
Now, hopefully most of you[br]are starting to get to know

0:01:02.081,0:01:03.933
the names of the notes on the guitar.

0:01:03.933,0:01:05.369
It's really, really important.[br]If you're not,

0:01:05.369,0:01:07.297
you definitely want to go[br]to check out the web site

0:01:07.297,0:01:09.039
and suss out some ways to do that.

0:01:09.039,0:01:10.955
The note C

0:01:10.955,0:01:13.188
is found at the 8th fret

0:01:13.188,0:01:14.469
on the thinnest string.

0:01:14.469,0:01:16.176
So now we're just going to use that same

0:01:16.176,0:01:17.577
-- I'm kind of going to call it shape one --

0:01:17.577,0:01:19.887
the same shape that we started off with in G

0:01:19.887,0:01:20.995
down at the 3rd fret.

0:01:20.995,0:01:22.082
. . .

0:01:22.082,0:01:23.965
We now move it up to the 8th fret

0:01:23.965,0:01:25.405
. . .

0:01:25.405,0:01:27.319
And we've got our C chord.

0:01:27.889,0:01:29.399
So, G down at the 3rd fret:

0:01:29.399,0:01:30.557
. . .

0:01:30.557,0:01:31.916
8th fret:

0:01:31.916,0:01:33.050
. . .

0:01:33.050,0:01:34.115
C chord.

0:01:34.115,0:01:36.288
Now, we said our progression[br]was going to back to G,

0:01:36.288,0:01:37.857
so back all the way to the 3rd fret:

0:01:37.857,0:01:39.491
. . .

0:01:39.491,0:01:40.644
And now we want a D chord.

0:01:40.644,0:01:42.546
Now, hopefully most of you know that

0:01:42.546,0:01:44.434
D is one tone higher than C.

0:01:44.434,0:01:46.265
So, if C was at the 8th fret,

0:01:46.265,0:01:48.379
D must be at the 10th fret.

0:01:48.379,0:01:49.447
. . .

0:01:49.447,0:01:51.764
We're just going to strum the chord once,

0:01:51.764,0:01:52.974
just so you can hear what is going on.

0:01:52.974,0:01:54.395
So, we'd be going G:

0:01:54.395,0:01:55.250
. . .

0:01:55.250,0:01:57.429
2, 3, up to C:

0:01:57.429,0:01:58.566
C (plays)

0:01:58.566,0:02:00.352
2, 3, 4

0:02:00.352,0:02:01.908
back to G (plays)

0:02:01.908,0:02:03.980
2, 3, and up to D

0:02:03.980,0:02:05.197
. . .

0:02:05.197,0:02:07.525
2, 3, 4.

0:02:07.525,0:02:08.629
G (plays)

0:02:08.629,0:02:10.486
2, 3, 4

0:02:10.486,0:02:11.985
Up to C (plays)

0:02:11.985,0:02:13.896
2, 3, 4

0:02:13.896,0:02:15.177
Back to G (plays)

0:02:15.177,0:02:17.247
2, 3, 4

0:02:17.247,0:02:18.452
And up to D (plays)

0:02:18.452,0:02:20.800
2, 3, 4.

0:02:20.800,0:02:23.023
Now, what you want to try[br]and have it a go at now is

0:02:23.023,0:02:24.770
getting your mate or, you know,

0:02:24.770,0:02:27.231
your buddy or, if you've got a[br]recording device, record yourslef

0:02:27.231,0:02:29.234
just playing G (plays).

0:02:29.234,0:02:31.110
In fact, I'll play rhythm guitar now.

0:02:31.110,0:02:33.831
I'm changing the lesson all the way through this time![br]This is quite funny.

0:02:33.831,0:02:35.756
So, I'm going to play now the sequence

0:02:35.756,0:02:38.299
G, C, G and D

0:02:38.299,0:02:39.949
And what I want you to try and do is

0:02:39.949,0:02:41.386
move your chord and go:

0:02:41.386,0:02:43.794
G from there, up to the C (plays),

0:02:43.794,0:02:44.946
back to the G (plays)

0:02:44.946,0:02:46.039
and up to the D (plays).

0:02:46.039,0:02:46.600
So here we go:

0:02:46.600,0:02:47.250
3

0:02:47.250,0:02:47.924
4

0:02:47.924,0:02:48.861
G

0:02:48.861,0:02:50.160
. . .

0:02:50.160,0:02:51.449
To C.

0:02:51.449,0:02:52.570
. . .

0:02:52.570,0:02:53.691
Back to G.

0:02:53.691,0:02:55.332
. . .

0:02:55.332,0:02:56.479
And up to D.

0:02:56.479,0:02:57.240
. . .

0:02:57.240,0:02:59.616
Now, I'll do it again, so you should be[br]in third fret now.

0:02:59.616,0:03:00.559
. . .

0:03:00.559,0:03:02.448
and then you're going to move up[br]to the 8th fret.

0:03:02.448,0:03:03.339
. . .

0:03:03.339,0:03:04.529
Back to the 3rd fret.

0:03:04.529,0:03:05.682
. . .

0:03:05.682,0:03:06.802
And then up to the 10th fret.

0:03:06.802,0:03:10.421
. . .

0:03:10.421,0:03:11.850
And you finish on the G.

0:03:11.850,0:03:14.178
Now, you can either just strum this chord,

0:03:14.178,0:03:15.484
just like here (plays):

0:03:15.484,0:03:16.543
2, 3, 4

0:03:16.543,0:03:17.458
And then up to C (plays).

0:03:17.458,0:03:18.516
Or you can make a pattern,

0:03:18.516,0:03:19.666
You could go:

0:03:19.666,0:03:20.546
. . .

0:03:20.546,0:03:21.666
And then to C:

0:03:21.666,0:03:22.868
. . .

0:03:22.868,0:03:23.762
4

0:03:23.762,0:03:25.290
1 and, 2 and, 3

0:03:25.290,0:03:26.020
4

0:03:26.020,0:03:27.616
1 and, 2 and, 3

0:03:27.616,0:03:28.226
4

0:03:28.226,0:03:29.372
You can do it anyway you want.

0:03:29.372,0:03:30.151
You could go:

0:03:30.151,0:03:35.477
. . .

0:03:35.477,0:03:36.512
It doesn't really matter.

0:03:36.512,0:03:38.880
You can kind of play about with the rhythm[br]a little bit yourself.

0:03:38.880,0:03:41.227
In fact, that's one of the things that will[br]keep it interesting

0:03:41.227,0:03:42.500
if you're jamming with your buddy

0:03:42.500,0:03:43.805
and he's playing the chords

0:03:43.805,0:03:45.769
and you get to play about with the triads,

0:03:45.769,0:03:47.014
it kind of makes it fun.

0:03:47.014,0:03:50.086
You'll find that the sound that I've got[br]has a little bit of delay on it

0:03:50.086,0:03:51.895
and I think a little bit of chorus as well.

0:03:51.895,0:03:54.625
And that kind of sound is nice one:

0:03:54.625,0:03:55.820
a clean guitar sound playing triads,

0:03:55.820,0:03:58.814
while an acoustic guitar plays the chords:

0:03:58.814,0:04:00.556
Bellissimo!

0:04:00.556,0:04:01.628
Beautiful, beautiful sound.

0:04:01.628,0:04:05.557
So, that's something you want to have[br]a little bit of play about with.

0:04:05.557,0:04:07.367
Just experiment with the[br]rhythm that you use.

0:04:07.367,0:04:09.215
Now, that's just using shape one,

0:04:09.215,0:04:11.081
but we've got three shapes[br]that we can deal with.

0:04:11.081,0:04:12.400
So, the second shape

0:04:12.400,0:04:14.856
that we looked at was the one... [br]the G chord

0:04:14.856,0:04:16.651
based around the 7th fret.

0:04:16.651,0:04:18.832
. . .

0:04:18.832,0:04:22.742
Now, in that shape, the root note was[br]on the second string.

0:04:22.742,0:04:23.874
. . .

0:04:23.874,0:04:27.814
That's the note G, and the reason[br]that this is a G chord,

0:04:27.814,0:04:28.696
or a G triad,

0:04:28.696,0:04:32.084
is because third finger in this case[br]is on the root note,

0:04:32.084,0:04:35.216
which is the note G at the 8th fret[br]of the 2nd string.

0:04:35.216,0:04:38.427
Now, we are going to stick with our[br]same little chord sequence

0:04:38.427,0:04:40.701
G, C, G, D.

0:04:40.701,0:04:42.512
So, if we want to move this one

0:04:42.512,0:04:44.062
to a C chord

0:04:44.062,0:04:46.717
we have to put the note on the 2nd string

0:04:46.717,0:04:48.574
onto the note C.

0:04:48.574,0:04:50.618
So, those of you who now, get to it now.

0:04:50.618,0:04:52.112
Those of you who don't

0:04:52.112,0:04:54.684
we're going to now move that third finger

0:04:54.684,0:04:57.480
up to the 13th fret

0:04:57.480,0:04:58.660
of the 2nd string.

0:04:58.660,0:05:00.141
. . .

0:05:00.141,0:05:01.530
That would now be a C chord.

0:05:01.530,0:05:03.667
So, your hand is now up to the 12th fret.

0:05:03.667,0:05:05.085
. . .

0:05:05.085,0:05:07.648
Now we go back to G,[br]which is based around the 7th fret.

0:05:07.648,0:05:08.883
. . .

0:05:08.883,0:05:10.886
With the root note on 8th fret, of course.

0:05:10.886,0:05:12.385
Not forgetting where the root note is.

0:05:12.385,0:05:14.967
Knowing the root note is the most important thing about this exercise.

0:05:14.967,0:05:16.373
. . .

0:05:16.373,0:05:18.084
And then, if we want to go to a D chord,

0:05:18.084,0:05:19.813
Well, we've got our little D chord (plays)

0:05:19.813,0:05:21.012
Hey hey!

0:05:21.012,0:05:21.864
You already know...

0:05:21.864,0:05:23.043
You probably already familiar with D chord,

0:05:23.043,0:05:25.245
at least you should be, if you're now[br]doing this lesson on triads.

0:05:25.245,0:05:26.112
So.

0:05:26.112,0:05:28.078
And that one would be,[br]of course, the root note

0:05:28.078,0:05:30.295
on the 3rd fret of the 2nd string.

0:05:30.295,0:05:31.319
And...

0:05:31.319,0:05:34.447
I mean, it wouldn't hurt if you played[br]the open D string as well,

0:05:34.447,0:05:35.698
like a regular D chord, but

0:05:35.698,0:05:37.697
for this exercise I'd recommend that you don't.

0:05:37.697,0:05:39.711
Just play the three strings[br]that your fingers are on.

0:05:39.711,0:05:40.973
So, in this one,

0:05:40.973,0:05:44.348
you use the same sequence as before,

0:05:44.348,0:05:45.627
we're going to have G

0:05:45.627,0:05:46.684
. . .

0:05:46.684,0:05:48.077
2, 3

0:05:48.077,0:05:48.876
Up to C.

0:05:48.876,0:05:51.467
(plays) 1, 2, 3

0:05:51.467,0:05:52.349
Back to G.

0:05:52.349,0:05:54.828
(plays) 2, 3

0:05:54.828,0:05:56.102
And then all the way down to D.

0:05:56.102,0:05:58.468
(plays) 2, 3 and

0:05:58.468,0:05:59.439
Through that again:

0:05:59.439,0:06:01.969
(plays) G, 2, 3.

0:06:01.969,0:06:03.184
All the way up to C, 12th fret,

0:06:03.184,0:06:05.247
(plays) 2, 3

0:06:05.247,0:06:06.523
and then back to the 7th fret,

0:06:06.523,0:06:07.827
. . .

0:06:07.827,0:06:09.128
for the G chord,

0:06:09.128,0:06:10.182
and then down to the 2nd fret for D.

0:06:10.182,0:06:11.467
. . .

0:06:11.467,0:06:14.096
And then through this.

0:06:14.096,0:06:14.806
And so on.

0:06:14.806,0:06:16.581
And again, you could change[br]just the rhythm of it.

0:06:16.581,0:06:18.311
You don't have to[br]just do this one strum,

0:06:18.311,0:06:20.704
if you want to change the rhythm[br]or pick out the notes individually

0:06:20.704,0:06:21.945
that will sound cool.

0:06:21.945,0:06:24.253
Now, I'm going to play[br]the chords again for you,

0:06:24.253,0:06:25.752
just so you can practice

0:06:25.752,0:06:27.319
moving that little triad shape

0:06:27.319,0:06:28.791
from one part of the neck to the other.

0:06:28.791,0:06:30.615
So, we are using the one that[br]looks like a D chord.

0:06:30.615,0:06:32.645
We're going to be moving it...

0:06:32.645,0:06:33.699
I'm going to talk about[br]the root notes now.

0:06:33.699,0:06:35.881
The root note is at the[br]8th fret for the first shape,

0:06:35.881,0:06:38.452
for the G chord:

0:06:38.452,0:06:39.195
. . .

0:06:39.195,0:06:40.235
The root note is at the[br]13th fret for the C chord:

0:06:40.235,0:06:41.536
. . .

0:06:41.536,0:06:42.818
Back to the 8th fret:

0:06:42.818,0:06:43.932
. . .

0:06:43.932,0:06:47.163
And down to the 3rd fret:

0:06:47.163,0:06:48.751
. . .

0:06:48.751,0:06:52.111
So, last time through I was[br]describing where the first finger sat.

0:06:52.111,0:06:54.368
That time I'm talking about[br]where the root note is.

0:06:54.368,0:06:55.920
What fret the root note is on,

0:06:55.920,0:06:57.794
because that's the bit[br]I really want you to remember.

0:06:57.794,0:06:59.885
So, here we go, I'll play the chords now,

0:06:59.885,0:07:03.163
and I'm going to be calling[br]the fret that the root note is in,

0:07:03.163,0:07:05.038
which is the note that you'll be playing

0:07:05.038,0:07:06.642
in this case with your third finger.

0:07:06.642,0:07:09.168
So. Important: check out the shapes,

0:07:09.168,0:07:10.786
make sure you know where they are

0:07:10.786,0:07:11.688
and then have a go at playing along.

0:07:11.688,0:07:12.504
Here we go:

0:07:12.504,0:07:13.830
So, 3, 4. G Chord.

0:07:13.830,0:07:15.799
. . .

0:07:15.799,0:07:16.789
That was at the 8th fret.

0:07:16.789,0:07:17.769
To C.

0:07:17.769,0:07:19.357
Right up in the 13th fret you should be now.

0:07:19.357,0:07:20.899
Back to G.

0:07:20.899,0:07:21.863
. . .

0:07:21.863,0:07:22.931
To the root note at the 8th.

0:07:22.931,0:07:23.871
To D.

0:07:23.871,0:07:25.300
. . .

0:07:25.300,0:07:25.988
And again.

0:07:25.988,0:07:27.456
. . .

0:07:27.456,0:07:28.771
You should be at the 8th fret now.

0:07:28.771,0:07:29.902
You're going to C.

0:07:29.902,0:07:30.555
. . .

0:07:30.555,0:07:31.465
Right up to the 13th.

0:07:31.465,0:07:32.346
Back to G.

0:07:32.346,0:07:33.208
. . .

0:07:33.208,0:07:34.310
Which had the root note in the 8th.

0:07:34.310,0:07:35.068
And then to D.

0:07:35.068,0:07:36.329
. . .

0:07:36.329,0:07:41.548
The third shape that we talked about,

0:07:41.548,0:07:42.405
I'll be calling it shape 3,

0:07:42.405,0:07:45.968
is the one that's kind of based around[br]the 10th or 12th fret,

0:07:45.968,0:07:47.919
and the root note is on the 3rd string,

0:07:47.919,0:07:49.749
so we've got our third finger

0:07:49.749,0:07:51.763
on the root note, little finger underneath,

0:07:51.763,0:07:53.964
and first finger back in the 10th fret.

0:07:53.964,0:07:55.664
So, it's going 12-12-10.

0:07:55.664,0:07:57.546
And that is the G chord.

0:07:57.546,0:07:59.031
. . .

0:07:59.031,0:08:01.209
Now, if we want to change that one to

0:08:01.209,0:08:02.493
a C chord,

0:08:02.493,0:08:04.527
we need to find the note C[br]on the 3rd string.

0:08:04.527,0:08:07.715
So, again,

0:08:07.715,0:08:09.434
those of you who know where that is,[br]go to it now,

0:08:09.434,0:08:11.783
and for those of you who don't,

0:08:11.783,0:08:14.538
we're going to slide our shape[br]right down here,

0:08:14.538,0:08:16.918
because the note C is the 5th fret[br]of the 3rd string.

0:08:16.918,0:08:18.603
So we are using that[br]same shape again:

0:08:18.603,0:08:21.341
. . .

0:08:21.341,0:08:22.047
And we've got our little C chord.

0:08:22.047,0:08:23.420
And then we go back to G:

0:08:23.420,0:08:26.063
. . .

0:08:26.063,0:08:27.283
With the root note on the 12th fret.

0:08:27.283,0:08:28.768
And then we've got to get to D.

0:08:28.768,0:08:30.035
Hopefully you remember,

0:08:30.035,0:08:31.255
D is just one tone

0:08:31.255,0:08:32.956
or two semitones, two frets,

0:08:32.956,0:08:34.383
higher than the C.

0:08:34.383,0:08:36.867
So that would put the root note[br]at the 7th fret.

0:08:36.867,0:08:38.302
. . .

0:08:38.302,0:08:40.122
First finger is obviously going to be[br]in the 5th fret for that one.

0:08:40.122,0:08:42.834
So, it's just going 7-7-5.

0:08:42.834,0:08:46.268
And again, we take it through that[br]same sequence again,

0:08:46.268,0:08:47.569
So this time we have

0:08:47.569,0:08:49.277
G

0:08:49.277,0:08:50.467
. . .

0:08:50.467,0:08:51.174
down to C

0:08:51.174,0:08:52.806
. . .

0:08:52.806,0:08:53.616
back to G

0:08:53.616,0:08:55.363
. . .

0:08:55.363,0:08:56.216
and then down to D

0:08:56.216,0:08:58.120
. . .

0:08:58.120,0:08:58.981
Here we go again:

0:08:58.981,0:08:59.894
G

0:08:59.894,0:09:00.604
. . .

0:09:00.604,0:09:01.240
Down to C

0:09:01.240,0:09:02.631
. . .

0:09:02.631,0:09:03.634
Back up to G

0:09:03.634,0:09:05.102
. . .

0:09:05.102,0:09:06.048
And then to D

0:09:06.048,0:09:08.017
. . .

0:09:08.017,0:09:09.735
OK, here we go,

0:09:09.735,0:09:11.368
I'm going to play some[br]chords for you now

0:09:11.368,0:09:12.526
to have a go at moving that around,

0:09:12.526,0:09:13.656
Here we go, so:

0:09:13.656,0:09:15.374
2, 3, 4

0:09:15.374,0:09:16.403
G:

0:09:16.403,0:09:18.372
. . .

0:09:18.372,0:09:18.871
Sliding it down to C:

0:09:18.871,0:09:20.953
. . .

0:09:20.953,0:09:21.814
Back to G:

0:09:21.814,0:09:23.754
. . .

0:09:23.754,0:09:24.638
And then up to the D chord:

0:09:24.638,0:09:25.920
. . .

0:09:25.920,0:09:26.674
or rather DOWN to the D chord.

0:09:26.674,0:09:27.600
. . .

0:09:27.600,0:09:28.873
G

0:09:28.873,0:09:29.539
. . .

0:09:29.539,0:09:30.470
Over the C.

0:09:30.470,0:09:31.351
. . .

0:09:31.351,0:09:33.172
Down the... root note at the 5th string...

0:09:33.172,0:09:34.499
5th fret.

0:09:34.499,0:09:35.299
Back up to G:

0:09:35.299,0:09:36.200
. . .

0:09:36.200,0:09:38.623
And then to the D.
