members who said“ I play a lot of ukulele and that that actually is a more intuitive shape for me to play.”
This is the much more common way of playing D Major.
Believe it or not, I actually prefer this. Now, this is not a C major chord, but it could be an excellent alternative. It’ s a C5.
Now, to me, that’ s a little bit less intuitive, however, if we use the first G chord in combination with this chord, the transition is pretty smooth.
So, there is some merit to learning to play this E minor chord in this way.
In my opinion, the most versatile way to play E minor is like this:
The next important chord after that is C Major, the 4 chord. Now, this is a hard chord for a beginner to learn because a lot of times we end up touching strings that aren’ t meant to sound.
The fourth and final chord in G major that I want to address is the chord E minor. This is the minor 6( or 6-). I’ ve seen a lot of people play it like this.
Perhaps you’ ll agree with me.
There’ s a bonus chord I’ ll offer you, but it’ s waiting in the accompanying video, so please watch that to claim that chord.
I hope this short lesson has been helpful to you. I feel like keeping the conversation going and having access to a variety of chords really will enhance our ability, our repertoire, our artistry, and it’ ll make the songs we play even more interesting and enjoyable to play.
