So for right now, we have got G right here, and we will play a Root 5th chord, a 5 chord from there with the first finger here on the 3rd fret. G and then the third finger down the string and up 2 frets here on D, that's the 5th. So that's our 1st chord. The 4 chord whenever you are basing a Blues on a Root 5th chord here on the 6th string, the 4th chord is down a string, same shell just down a string, and then your 5 chord is up two frets or a whole step from the 5th chord. So for Blues in G, you play G5, come down a string and then go up two frets a whole step.
So those would be our three chords that we would be using the Root, the 4th and the 5th for our Blues in G. Let's say we wanted to do Blues in A. Again, all natural notes are whole step apart except for E and F, and B and C. So let's find A. E, F, G, A. So here is our A chord, that's our 1 chord, go down a string and that's our 4 chord. Go up a whole step from there and that's our 5 chord. Those would be the 3 chords; the 1, the 4 and the 5 that we would be using for Blues in A.
Let's figure out one more shelling. Let's do if we were asked to do Blues in B. E, F, G, A ,B. So you have got B, come down a string and then go up two frets. Those are the 3 chords you would be using; your 1, go down a string for the 4, go up a whole step for your 5. So those are your 3 chords for Blues in B.
Hi! I am Scotty Moore. She came back and handed me this slip of paper and I looked at it and I said, "Elvis Presley what kind of damn name is that?"
Starting with the 1st fret across string one and two at the 1st fret, second finger on the 2nd fret of the 3rd string, so that's little part of an F chord there.
