Playing a G-C-D-C Pattern in 3rd Position on Guitar

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We've talked about the first two positions of the "G", "C", "D" chord progression. Now these, as you recall, are the three significant chords in the key of "G". We're going to talk about the third position right now. In the third position, all the barring is going to be done on the fifth fret. In the third position, all the barring is going to be done on the fifth fret. You won't have to switch back like we did in the other position. The first chord form we'll use is a "D" chord form. As you'll recall, using the CAGED method, this is a "D" chord form, but it's actually a "G" chord (playing chord). The next chord form we'll use, is a "G" chord form. In this position, barred on the fifth fret, it plays a "C" chord. This is a "C" chord, with a "G" chord form (playing chord). And lastly, the "D" chord will use an "A" chord form, barred on the fifth fret (playing chord). In sequence, that looks like this (playing chord progression). In the next segment, I'm going to go over an exercise with you to help you get that into your head. And in-between I'm going to tune my guitar, because it's kind of out. I'll see you then.
