First up is learning about one of the most popular chord progressions in music. It is called the:

Key of G Major
Next up, is we need to know that chords are built from scales. So if we build a G major scale we get:

Cover
I went with the bar chords in the original key (Key of B Major) for the cover. For myself I find it easier to mute and control the notes of the chord when they are bar chords. I can be using both hands to mute strings when needed.
