Tablature
How to do it
- Play the four shapes following the TAB: root (fret 2), 1st inversion (barre at 5), 2nd inversion (frets 8-10) and root an octave up (frets 12-14).
- Play each shape as a chord and arpeggiated, keeping every note clear.
- Alternate this run with the C major one to hear major against minor in each inversion.
