Great lesson! I only had one capo so I tuned the bottom E to an F, which meant that I was playing a D/F# shape to get the G chord (which is a Bb in this case) and then just moving the bass note from the 5th fret to the 4th fret for the actual 1/3 chord. I hope I’m making sense lol Thanks for the video 🙏🏼
...for the Em I’m playing (from the capo) 2nd fret on the D string, open G, 3rd fret B string, and 2nd fret high E string

What is the Guitar Chords of Wellspring ?

By the way, that's a great sounding Gibson! What model is it, and what pickups, mics, preamps are you running to get that beautiful tone?
