Mandolin Tremolo Arpeggio: IV & IV Minor Chords

So we're going to move to the four and the four minor chord. We're going to use the same shape that we used for the D. Thinking about stringed instruments and shape is very helpful keeping things straight. So that shape is what we use for our D major chord. And the root was here, OK? So our root for our G chord is here. And we're going to use the same shape. OK, so starting on the third, there's your G chord but then when it goes to a G minor chord, OK, and if we wanted to spread the G chord out a little bit, here's your root of your G. You can come down here. OK, so up to this point we have, I was doing like a little dotted quarter note kind of thing. But same shape again, so we're kind of moving our way through the song.
