Bass Chord : C Minor
Hi, my name is Dalton and today we’re going to be making a minor chord, a C minor. First we find our root note which is C, which is on the 3rd fret of the A string. Then we need to find our third note which is our first fret on the D string. So we’ve got these two notes, and then it’s also made up of the fifth of the scale which is the G which id on the 5th fret of the D string. So these three notes make up the C minor chord. But we can’t play these two notes because they are on the same string. So we’re gonna come down here to find our C which is the 15th fret of the A string, and our third note of the scale, which is the 13th fret of the D string, and our fifth note which is the 12th fret of the G string. And together, they make a C minor chord.
