"Okay, so let us take a better look at those Major triads again. Major triads are again made up of three notes and because the instruments tune symmetrically, you can move each of these positions around in two places. Again, this is a G major chord. We are going to look at all G's at this moment. The root being on this lowest string is G. This same shape moved here is your next G, okay. It is the same exact shape as this one here, moved here. Now, we're looking at this G as our lowest note of the chord this is then called root position. The other notes in the triad are G, B, and D the three notes of the G triad. These three notes are the same here G, B, and D."
