Introducing the note of ‘G’
Playing a G on the E string, at the 3rd fret.
We are going to just look at two notes in this lesson. The second note to learn is called ‘G’.
To play the G note you need to fret the note by using your left hand, placing your first (index) finger on the E string at the third fret. Look at the picture below.
Again, we have placed a red dot on our picture.
You play the E string again with your right hand as we did when we played the A using the fourth string. Again watch the video clip and then play along once you are happy you know what you are doing.
Play the G bass note on each of the four quarter notes in the bar, in the same way we have done with our A notes.
Exercise 3. Playing a G on the E string at the 3rd fret
