Join BGI s Premium Membership Here Tuesday Blues, 259 Lesson Page 5 Essential Fingerpicking Exercises When a beginner ventures into Open G for the first time, they usually stick to the open strings, 5th fret and 7th fret. For good reason too. You can barre across all six strings at those frets and you ll have some very important chords: The 1 chord (open) the 4 chord (5th fret) and the 5 chord (7th fret). But as you advance a little, you ll want to start using other tones. In this lesson, we ll not only cover a flashy lick that you ve gotta know, but we ll cover a 12 bar blues in Open G that uses the allimportant flat 7th interval on the 4 and 5 chords. This one small move helps this piece sound even. Have a go at this one and good luck Play on, 3 br, br,
