Hey Jonathan. If I’m understanding your question, this is something I use a lot.

  1. Pick G note on 6 string, and strum G chord once.
  2. Pick F# note on 6 string and strum G chord once.
  3. Pick E note on 6 string and strum Em chord to complete the chord change.

If you like, I’ll make a quick video. Please let me know.

Hope that helped.

Yes making a video would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Treblemaker

The G major scale is the same as the E minor scale and you can play those notes over both chords (@Treblemaker is referring to walks for your rhythm playing, which use the same scale). You can target the notes of the Emin triad, as well (E, G, and B). I often think about vocabulary too, and learning a few Emin licks will help you out :wink:

Hey Jonathan,

For what it’s worth, here’s a link to a G to EM walk. Sorry for the delay in getting it out.

G 2 Em
