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

So we have our second inversion G minor. Moving up to a root position G minor. G is here. On the lowest string. Okay. This is stacked one, five, three. Flat three. Okay. So here's your five, remember where that five is. And then here's your flat three. Up a whole set from flat three is a root of your four chord. So the root's up on top of this so we know it's a minor. Shaped second inversion. And then we're going to go down to D minor. It was right here, so it's in the middle. So it's your middle shape, going to make it minor. And back to G minor.
