Ornamentation in G

Sorry about the long wait guys! I've been busy practicing myself, and just couldn't get around to it. It's here now though! Before we get started, I wanted to point out that Musician's Friend (an online retailer) is having a HUGE sale, so you should really order some strings or a capo or something. Just saying. Plus, please forgive the recordings. I forgot my EQ and to throw them through a noise gate. Anywho, on to the post:

So, going off the post where we played that riff in G, We'll be adding some simple ornamentation to this riff, which will go something like this: When playing a G chord, lift off and then put back down the finger that is fretting the second fret of the fifth (A) string. On a C, lift and replace the finger that is fretting the first fret of the second (B) string. When playing a D, add and then remove your pinky finger to the third fret of the first string.
It will sound something like this (when played G C D C):
Now, onto the strum pattern. It'll be played in 3/4 time, which is three beats per measure. We'll play one whole note followed by four half-notes, if you were wondering. This time, we'll play it C G D This is what it would sound like:
Now, for a while I'll continue adding descriptions to the strum patterns, but I find it best to pick up patterns by listening to them being played, and finding the easiest way for me to play them myself. In this way, you'll be able to play some of your favourite songs whenever you'd like, as long as you're given the chords. Much better than having to use sheet music or tablature all the time.

Well, that's all for this post. Have fun, and stick around! Next time we'll look at some more ornamentation for these notes, as well as learning some new chords and tricks. See you then!
