Hi, this is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We were talking about the G C D chord pattern in the second position. We were using the chord forms E on the third fret, A on the third fret, and the C chord form on the second fret in order to play the G C D. Now, an exercise that we can do to kind of solidify that, it looks like this. We're going to play the G chord with an E chord form here on the third fret. The A chord form on the third fret which makes a C chord. And the D chord is actually a C chord form on the second fret. This is what the exercise looks like when you set your metronome to sixty beats per minute. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. One, two, three, four. And that's the exercise that you'll use to kind of get that in your head. Now, of course add more strums to the measure to increase the difficulty and once you can do four strums then start increasing the tempo. In the next segment we're going to talk about the third position of the G C D chord pattern. I'll see you then.
