Hi I'm Rick Tobey and on behalf of Expert Village I'm going to demonstrate some slide guitar. So I'll play in that progression we went from the open G to the open C seventh cord and then back to the G sevens. Now when we are going to the D seven cord, we will do a similar thing where we will take our second finger, place it on the second fret of the fourth string and slide it up to the fourth fret. And then placing our third finger on the fifth fret of the third string and our index finger on the third fret of the second string we get our D seventh cord, then we can slide that down to the C seventh cord then back to the G seventh cord. So altogether it works like this.
