String sets and the I-IV-V chords.

Last week we had a look at the One-Four-Five chords and the way they encapsulate modes. This lesson looks at those same chords from another point of view: string sets.

The only way to achieve freedom on the guitar is to be able to see the fretboard as music, not a maze of frets and strings. One of the easiest ways to begin the process of mapping out the fretboard is to break it down into string sets. I have posted a few lessons already which delve into string sets.

In this lesson, we'll have a look at the key of D and how the I-IV-V chords arrange themselves on the fretboard. I'm using the I-IV-V chords again because they really are the most important to nail down as they form the backbone of almost all Western music.
