Playing a Minor Triad's 2nd Inversion on the Mandolin

So once again we're working our way up the neck. We know a G is here on our second inversion, using our major shape as our guide o.k? This is stacked five, three, one, the root up on top. So a minor chord once again you flat the third, so you get that shape o.k? Five, flat three, one o.k? So now we're moving up to the top three strings and we're looking for G on the E string o.k? Because we know that the root of this shape in on the top string. So, still stacked the same way, five, three, one it's our major shape. We're going to make it minor now.
