2nd Position Minor Triads on the Mandolin's Lower Strings

Video Transcript

Okay, so moving on up, and we're going to go to our first inversion. Here's our G, again, here's our major chord dropping it. The third to make it minor. Okay. Because the third's here, all right, so coming back on this it's really important to know what degree of each of the chords you're on so that you can then alter these chords in the correct way. The shells. I really think about them as shells that you start from and move away from. You start with your major, moving it minor. So here's your first inversion. Up a whole step to C. Okay, there's your C minor. Okay. And in this case we're going to go down to D here. Okay. So this is ideally what we'd like to do. And here's your D major shape. Come back to the G. G is right here, the five. Okay. And so we're going to build our minor chord using that note as our root. Okay. So G minor. C minor. D minor. G minor.
