Learn a 4th Position Guitar Exercise in G Major

Hello! This is Joe Wiles again with the Rock and Roll Conservatory, for Expert Village. We just talked about the fourth position of the "G", "C", "D", "C" pattern, and we're going to go over an exercise in order to help us learn that pretty well. To review, it starts on the seventh fret bar, and you're playing a "C" chord form (playing chord). Then you slide your finger up one to the eighth fret to play an "E" chord form. Then we slide our finger back to the seventh fret and play a "G" chord form. That is the "G", "C", "D", "C" pattern in the fourth position. We're going to turn on our metronome and do the exercise. (counting) One, two, three, four: (playing chord on one) One, two, three, four, (playing chord on one) One, two, three, four, (playing chord on one) One, two, three, four, (playing chord on one) One, two, three, four, (playing chord on one) One, two, three, four. As always, we'll want to make sure that once we're comfortable with doing it with one "strum", that we increase the amount of strumming, and eventually increase the metronome speed. In the next segment, we're going to talk about the last position of the "G", "C", "D", "C" pattern. I'll see you then.
