Hi, and welcome back to Week Five of guitar lessons in the music coach program. This week, you're going to be learning how to play the chord order for the B section of our song. That's a very common thing and popular song to just take the chords from the first section and rearrange them to make up a chorus or a bridge or another verse. We're going to do the same thing in our song. Now one of the keys to switching between chords is figuring out which fingers have to change and sometimes which fingers can stay where they are. between our first two chords, which are G and D. Your third finger doesn't have to move it's gonna stay exactly where it is.
Well, let me show you really slowly here's a G chord and my third finger is going to stay right where it is as I swear Which to the D chord. Now here's how I like to think of it, I start on my G chord. And I'm going to move my first finger and second finger to make the bottom of my triangle for my D chord. And then I'm going to lift off my pinky finger, my number four finger to make D. Now we switch from the D chord to the E minor chord. There are no fingers in common, so they all have to come up to make our E minor chord up between E minor and C. Your number two finger can stay exactly where it is. Let me show you that again.
So your E minor chord. And I like to think of this as pivoting or switching and kind of rolling my wrist a little bit to make the C chord. I'm leaving my middle finger where it is stretching out to make my C chord. Just like in last week's video, when you're switching, always make sure to land where the chord belongs in the rhythm most importantly. And also, when you're playing quarter notes, if you need to switch on the last beat of the bar, that's a good place to do it to make sure you're landing in the right place. Here's what our quarter order sounds like for the B section.
There's gonna be a new melody for that section as well. It's going to make the song move in a different emotional direction. All right, great work, and we'll see you in the practice video.
