In this course we’ll be looking at the remaining notes on the G-string, within the first five frets. These notes are the G#/Ab at the first fret, and the A#/Bb at the third. We’ll also be working through some exercises that combine these new notes with some of the others that we’ve learnt in the previous courses.
