The G Position

The G Position is the second of my Create Your Own Arrangement series. The first was the The C Position. The C Position is the easiest to use and most of (composer) Hans Zimmer's music lends itself to the C Position on guitar.

The *G Position is slightly more elaborate.  There's more notes available to us in The G Position and we'll extend ourselves to the 5th fret. This is one of the positions that Gustavo Santaolalla uses for his music.

Note: the video above is just a promotional overview. Below, you'll find 3 videos, 4 pages of guitar TABs (with time stamps), and 900 words covering everything in this order of detail:
