The G and A courses ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 4 over a 5-fret stretch. The root is the G course itself. It sounds from E3 up to Bb4.

Mandola is strung in four courses of two, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.

Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on G or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
