Thanks so much for you videos, I always learn something. I'll have to watch the webinar - I'm not sure I get the D1/G as a C chord.

[@raymondb4448]

Since the C is made up of the C,E and G notes, your D1 which is an E, and the G can make your C chord. It's easier than using the third finger on the C of the G string to make the chord.

Let us know if that explanation was helpful, we thought so🙌🙏🎉🎻

@@fiddl3hed Got it. Had brain cloud and was thinking 1-4-5 instead of 1-3-5. I'm still new to music and theory... Thanks again.
