    on 5/4/2009 This video is incorrect. The chord explained has both a B(part of Gmajor) and Bb (part of Gminor) It's halfway between a major and a minor chord, but as such contains a minor 13th interval which is strongly dissonant. You might use this chord for some very specific application, but this is NOT a G minor chord.

    Video Transcript

    "In this segment of open chords we're going to cover the minor chords. In the last segments I was showing you the major chords, now we're going to cover the minor chords which have a slightly darker tonality to them. In this first one I'm going to show a G minor open chord, and much like the G Major chord you're going to have your first note is G on the third fret, except instead of using your second finger you're going to start with your third finger on the third fret, your first finger on the first fret of the A string, which is A sharp, and then just put the pinkie, or your fourth finger, on the high E string, also making a G. And what you'll have, I'll pick through it slowly. So it has instead of going... you're going to go...That's a little bit darker, especially right there. That gives you that darker sound. So basically, when you make this...it's a little difficult, typically you'd probably just want to go...for a more simplified version of it."
