The "diminished" chord in measure 2 is very difficult to form if your technique is less than excellent. Feel free to listen and skip this one when playing through all of the triads.
Diatonic means "of the scale". The triads in this exercise are all formed using notes of the G major scale. The pattern of chords for any harmonized major scale always produces chord qualities in this order: Major, minor, minor, Major, Major, minor, diminished. In this case, the first 1st inversion shape we come across is the Em, which is the 6th triad formed from the G major scale(G A B C D E F#).
Follow the fingering suggestions listed in the banjo tablature. Listen as you play each triad. Don't be in a rush to get to the next triad. Stop. Smell the roses. Listen. Read. Notice the same shapes being used for minor or major triads! These are the 1st inversion banjo chord shapes. The root note is on the first string. There's only one note different between major and minor shapes, and only one note different between minor and diminished. Those small differences in shape make a huge difference in sound!
