Thanks. When I play a 6th root bar chord, I rarely play it the traditional way of barring the whole fret with the index finger. I’ll usually just bar the first few frets, so that G chord I would play like this: x55433, or if you prefer the traditional way: 355433

Great video, really well done! One question regarding the G: How do you play the G, I can’t really see it and I am a beginner so cannot really hear it either. Is it 00455? Could you or someone else who is reading this please help me? Cheers!
