Hello allanb116. Sure, I can

Hello allanb116.

Sure, I can help.

Hole 5 has two notes... E and F.

The I Chord is G B D, so no note of the I Chord is available. Move down to 4 draw for the I Chord (5th of the chord).

The IV Chord is C E G, so 5+ works (3rd).

The V Chord is D F# A, so no note of the V Chord is available. Move down to 4 draw (root) or up to the 6 draw (5th).

Make sense?
