Introducing the chord of G5

Chord of G5

Using your fretting hand press fingers one and three down on the strings as shown in the chord box below.

This is the chord of G5. So make sure your first finger is on fret three, on the sixth string and your third finger is on fret five, on the fifth string.

Watch again the video showing how your right hand plays the sixth and fifth strings.

Now play the chord of G5. You will see how we strike strings six and five simultaneously with the plectrum, with an even weight - just as we did for A5.

Make sure that both strings can be heard clearly without buzzing or rattling.

Now watch Video 5 and compare to the sound you are creating.

Strike strings six and five simultaneously with the plectrum with an even weight, making sure that both strings can be heard clearly, with no buzzing or rattling.
