Playing a Minor Triad's 1st Inversion on the Mandolin

So we have our first inversion chord. There's our G major inversion with our root in the middle. The thirds in the bottom of this. So this is stacked three, one, five. We're going to lower the third a half step and get that shape o.k? So we're using, we're building from our major chord. Our major shape you know, and then we're deviating from there. Here's our major shape, this is again stacked the same way, three, one, five. And we're going to lower it a half step to make it a minor triad. You know, it sounds the same. You start to loop them together and they start to make sense.
