1st Position Minor Triads on the Mandolin's Higher Strings

We're going to build on that same concept, move up to the next set of three strings. So, we know G is here, since it's on top it's the second inversion. That's our shape for a major chord. We're going to fly up a third and make it minor. Start five, flat three, one. Okay. Our three is here, up a whole set up to our four chord, a minor four. The fifth of that first minor chord is right here, and we're going to build the root of the D minor chord after that. It's just one note for that D minor chord. Very useful chord, like the G minor.
