Hi, I'm going through the UU music theory course videos at the moment. Without any music knowledge I thought it was making sense until "week 5 minor triads"
At about 5 min into the video it explains the construction of the Em chord.
This is made up of E, G ,B
It explains to play the closest note to the string so:
G string play G
C string play E
E string play G ????
A string play B
All makes sense apart from the closest note to the E string is obviously E. why do you play G??
I have looked online for other information but can't work it out. I think I must have missed something important along he way?
Any help would be appreciated.
