3rd Position Minor Triads on the Mandolin's Lower Strings

So, our last set of chords on these three strings. It's our second inversion G and we're coming up here. Here was our major chord. Flat in the third to make it minor. Okay. Let's look at where these are. This is your five, remember where that five is. This is your flat three, and here's your one. So this is your one chord, up a whole set from three is a root of your four chord. Okay. Remember where that five was? It's right here. There's your five chord, your D minor, and back to G minor. Okay, so... because it's all voice leaded you can really move in between chords in a nice way.
