Fingering for G-9

**Marcus Kaufman** · Dec-02-2012, 1:57pm

I have a song I'm working on with two guitar chords: G minus 9 (which I think is G, D, Bb and D) and A/G (A with a G in the bass? or G, E, A and C#?). Anyway, the verse goes back and forth between these two chords. Can anyone suggest mandolin fingering for both.

Thanks.

G- 9 I think is G minor 9, which would G Bb D A, so one voicing is

0-0-1-5

G/A could be 0-2-0-0

My Gm9 would likely be 3-3-5-5.

G minor 9 is the notes G Bb D F A. Can't get all of those.

As mentioned before a good 4 string voicing is 3 3 5 5.

Good 3 string voicing is 3 7 5. GDA

For going back/forth you can decide how movement you want in top, bottom, or middle:

Gm9 0-0-1-5
A/G 0-2-4-5

Gm9 2-0-1-3
A/G 0-2-4-5

Gm9 3-5-5-5
A/G 0-2-4-5

etc.

0001 hammer on to 3001. You hear every note in the Gm9 chord that way. Try it, you'll like how it sounds. Or, just play an open G then hammer on to 3001. G Bb D A F. Perfect.
