DESCRIPTION:
This is the first in a 4-part series on building your own chords for the mandolin. It covers the basic "building blocks" of major and minor triads: root, 3rd & 5th, and how build a root position triad.

Part 2 covers the second shape (1st inversion)
Part 3 deals with the 3rd shape (2nd inversion)
Part 4 explains how to make your own augmented, diminished and 7 chords from these basic shapes.
