Mandolin Tremolo: G Major & G Minor

Video Transcript

"Okay, in the next two chords in this song are G-major and G-minor. I'll play up to that. "Walked along the old canal. A little confused, I remember well. I checked into a cheap motel with the neon burning bright." There's your G and then there's a G-minor. "I felt the heat of the night." There's your G-minor chord going back to the one chord. Okay? The difference between a major chord and a minor chord is a third. And, in this shape, we have our G-major. And then you move this note here is a third, you want to move that down a half note to get the minor, which is a really nice cadence moving back to D. And, okay, people hear this all the time and say, if you were going to give it numbers, it would be the one, or the four major and the four minor. So, "I walked along by the old canal. A little confused, I remember well. I checked into a cheap motel with the neon burning bright. Felt the heat of the night." And then it sets us up to come back to the one chord."
