In the previous two sections, we’ve been looking at diads, or two-note pairings. In this section we’re adding the third note required to complete a chord. With just one major pattern and one minor pattern, you can cover all six main chords in the key.

Now the Thirds on Strings 5 & 2 make sense when I apply that to the Minor Third Triads.
Other ways that I’ve found that work for me are: Just using the first 3 fingers of the left hand, ( Index finger on the A string, middle finger on the E String, and Ring finger on the B String And/or Barring strings 1-5 with the Index finger and using the Middle finger for the B String. With the Right Hand using the Thumb on the A string, and the middle and ring fingers for the B & E strings… (Been missing the tip of my right index finger since 1965…learned to work with and around it).
