I love the approach you have for providing guidance on options. The one and two finger versions really open up the instrument to a wider "learning" audience. I think I tried the 2 finger version about this time last year (when I was re-starting my guitar journey). With practice, I was able to quickly transition to the 3 finger version with my ring finger on 1st string. Then I found the value of the 4 finger version with some songs I've tried out.

Hey Lauren, there is 6th way to play a G chord. I learned this from Gary Talley who was (and still is) lead guitarist for the Box Tops. You’re probably too young to have heard of them, but the 1st record they recorded went to #1, “The Letter”. Put you second finger on the E string (3rd fret) and mute the A string and put your index finger on the little e string (3rd fret). Wal-la, you have a G chord. I use it all the time. Makes transition to E minor so easy.

I prefer the two finger version. I can do the three finger, but not consinstantly , yet. My ring finger is rebelelling and/or the second finger moves when I try for the three finger version. Not a pleasant sound,. I am enjoying your relaxed teaching method of using songs to motivate learning cords. Playing the songs shows progress that motivates me to play more often. That and I recently moved from a dreadnought to a fender classic concert solid top (Fender) and the size is more comfortable. It is eassier to play, so I play more. Thanks.

Thank you for this lesson on the G chord, Lauren. I'm an adult with small hands and short fingers and have been struggling with the G chord. I started with the 2 finger version and tried the 3 finger version with my 3rd finger on the high E. I just don't have enough reach to play the G that way without muting the A string with my 2nd finger. So, I am trying to do the 3 finger version using my pinky on the high E. It is a very shaky process for me, and I'm still having a lot of trouble landing the 1st and 2nd fingers on the A and low E string quickly quickly and accurately. I may just be stuck with playing the 2 finger version. Moving from D chord to G chord quickly has been quite frustrating and challenging. Bar chords are probably not in my future as my index finger will only reach across 5 strings at best, so at this time, I'm having to determine what is within my hand size limitations.

Hi Lauren! I have two thoughts. 1. For the 3-finger G chord I like to use my 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers because it makes for an easier transition between G and C (which is a very common chord progression). The 2nd and 3rd fingers come down, lift off the 4th finger and put the 1st finger down for the C chord. I find it helpful to do it that way. 2. The four finger G chord is beneficial because, again, it makes for a very easy change from G to Cadd9 (first two fingers come down and that's it). Just my two cents worth...

@LaurenBateman 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on the player. I find using the pinky very awkward with my smaller hand shape.

There is another 2 finger version which involves playing the top and bottom E strings at the 3rd fret with whichever 2 fingers are most comfortable but the top finger has to mute the A string. It sounds tricky but I started learning guitar exactly 3 months ago and after Em find this probably the easiest chord to play. 😉

Here's another option for short fingers: Starting with the 4-finger version, lift your index off the A string and mute it with the underside of your middle finger. The difference (to my ear) between the full 4-finger and the muted A string is nearly imperceptible, especially in the middle of a song.

@PJErvin 3 жыл бұрын

Regarding “Level 3”... When I got started around 2004, I learned from a video that was sort of a bluegrass/country gospel style, and this video taught its first G chord with a ring finger on the low E at 3rd fret, middle finger on the A at 2nd fret, and pinky on the high E at 3rd fret. Same result as your level 3 obviously, but I’ve found that it makes an easier transition to the basic C chord, especially for beginners.

I've played the G chord with both the 3 and 4 finger version, sometimes I like to use the 4 finger G chord because the 3rd finger stays put when I change from G to D acting as a pivot. And a lot of times I'll just use the 3 finger G chord using my 3rd finger mainly because it's how I learned to play the G.

Hey Lauren I play the ring finger on the bottom string like you say you prefer. A lot of people are trying to change me to the whole lock in the bottom to fingers way but my pinky just doesn’t cooperate and trying to play that way makes me feel like I am a new beginner all over. I really actually like the way that I play it better as far as sound. Is this like a cheater way and not as legit though? I’ve been playing 2 years and I just don’t want to cut corners anymore. I can’t get to barre chords yet so that’s my next move. I play mostly open chord type songs but yet I don’t want to be stuck there my whole rest of my life. Do you have any thoughts on this?

Hi, don’t want to be contrary, but I learned it with ringfinger on 1st chord, middle on 2nd and pinky on 6th chord. Luckily for me, the index just points upwards, lol. I think the reason this feels so easy for me, is I had 3 yrs of ’dactylography’ lessons (on a non-electric typewriter!), and we were supposed to hit every letter with the same force, ergo, 3 yrs of pinky strengthening 🙄😉.

Don't know about the masses, but I'd love to know who Lauren's favorite artists are...it's obvious you have an eclectic taste (PS Everyone thinks they have an eclectic taste in music, but most don't, they just want to appear open-minded and worldly). Taylor Swift fans don't own any Carly Simon or Dolores O'Riordan albums. My guitar "hero" is Brian Setzer from the Stray Cats and Brian Setzer Orchestra. He was my son's first concert and the promoter thought we were so "cute" father and son dressed in Rockabilly garb, that he let us take pics with each of us holding one of Setzer's signature Gretsch guitars (-;/

@@LaurenBateman Mad respect Lauren, most folks would throw out a list of "avant garde" names just to be pretentious. Nancy Wilson is one of the finest acoustic guitarists in the world (no pronoun games),, Janet's Control album is one of those incredibly rare efforts where I like every track, Benatar is wildly underrated, she has amazing pipes.

If you get a chance, check out a few of her live performances of "Crazy On You" just to watch her intros. She has said she never plays it the same way twice, which in and of itself is amazing, wait till you see her combination of back-picking, plucking in simultaneous fashion, it looks physically impossible!

@@LaurenBateman I've seen Heart beginning in 1982 until a few years ago. Nancy has only gotten better, even Ann still holds her own, she can't hit a few notes and gets winded sometimes, but she's learned to compensate by changing the way she sings a few verses and is still an epic vocalist.

Not sure the name of this chord, but it is a G variant. Ring finger on the 3rd fret high E, middle finger on 3rd fret low E while muting the A string. This is the variant I use.

There are many more variations outside of these.

I’m sorry, but I have to ask...is that a 68 Camaro model? Are you a fan of the vintage Camaros? Ok, on to the G chord lesson, and thanks for giving so much of your time to help us beginners become better guitarists. You are awesome!

The model is a 1969 Z/28. I own a red 1968. Mine doesn't have stripes though. Fire engine red only. Wide ties in the back.

Sweet! I had a 1969 SS 396 Camaro, that’s why the model caught my eye. Congrats on owning a 68, those cars are getting rare. (Sorry for the thread hijack). Carry on.

Hi Lauren, I don't know if you have done this one before but could you do a tutorial on Brand new Key by Melanie? That would be great,. I'm sure a lot of your fan's would love that. Anyone with me?

Ouch the last was painful, but sounded good when I had all strings down. Is it me? As I noticed your first finger was flat, whilst mine was edge on. I would be interested in learning more of doing bar chords :)

@LaurenBateman 3 жыл бұрын

Yes don't go flat on a barre chord. 45 degree angle.
