In this fourth segment, we will look at our last two chords in the key of G major, they are E minor and F# diminished. For the E minor we will be going to the seventh fret of the fifth string and playing our minor shape. So we have got seventh fret, fifth string; going to the fifth fret and ninth fret on the fourth string and fifth fret and eighth fret on the second string. For the F# diminished we will be on the ninth fret of the fifth string, we will do our diminished shape. So that's ninth fret, fifth string; going to the seventh and tenth on the fourth string and seventh and tenth on the second string.
So for the practice application of this you would want to go through each of these chord forms, take it through different keys, find your route notes, smoother out what you are picking. And a lot of times you just want to be very repetitious on one forms if you take your major, just put it on one and use a metronome and just keep it really even.
For a musical application then we would want to pick a core progression and outline over these arpeggios. So for our purposes here let's do a minor key, let's go with the E minor. We are playing E minor arpeggio, then we will go to an A minor which is in the same position. And then a core finger do in a minor key is to take the three chord and make it major. So I will play a B major rather than a B minor. And we will go by half step and play a C diminished, so we will use our diminished shape on C and then that will get us ready to go back to E minor again. So play each of these twice.
So you play absolutely at first working up with the metronome, as you will pick and your left hand get more comfortable, you can start adding some speed to it and getting a little bit more fluid. And we will look at a little bit more challenging application even in our next segment.
It just starts on the lowest string and it goes like this. So again it's the B, A and see I keep this B string ringing on the G, throughout the whole thing.
