"So the next chord progression is the one five four, or the D A and G. Once again, we're going to try and use that same shape, starting on the third, so here's our D. Right from before, but when we go to A, right, A is here, and then when we go to G, G is here. Right, so I'm trying to use the same stuff that we've already gone through so that it becomes familiar. That's kind of a little motion or whatever. So from the top of the song. I was just adding a little on to that. Just right down the scale from G, and landing on the one or the D. But the root, or the heart of that, was that shape, was that shape, and was that shape. And with all this, the middle finger's playing the root, so that's how I know that this is D, this is A and this is G. I can move the same pattern around."

on 5/21/2009 Excellent. "The middle finger plays the root", said at the end of the lesson, is really its heart & once grasped the lesson makes more sense.
I really like this series.
