The next chord that we're going to learn is the G chord. And we're going to learn a variation of that the G seven, the basic G chord, there's a couple different ways you can play this. But from my experience and country blues are playing country blues. This is the most typical shape that you're going to use. what I've got is my pinky on the first fret, third fret of the first string, and then I'm going to use my second finger on the second fret of the fifth string and my ring finger or third finger on the third fret of the sixth string. And we've got a lot of open strings that third, fourth, third and second strings are all open.

Along with the E chord, the G is one of the chords that really rings out. And that's because of those, those open strings that you have in there, along with the E and the B seven, two. With the G chord, the alternating bass is going to be six for most of the time, not all the time, but most of the time and then the monotonic base, you're gonna thump on the sixth string with the third fret, fretted with the rank finger. Again, muting that with your right hand, Paul. A variation of the G chord as with all the other chords we've learned so far is the seventh chord to make a G seventh one way to do it is to take your pinky off and put your first finger on the first fret of the first string. So that is a G chord, your second and third finger stay in exactly the same place.

Here's a G major g seventh chord. So we've got g g7. With the g7 chord, just like the other chords, the alternating bass will stay the same six, four. And our monotonic bass is still our sixth string, fret of the third fret muted with the right hand Paul. So those last three chords that we did C, F and G. Later when we get into some of the songs in the key of C, we'll see those three chords play together.
