A comment was made on my beginner guitar lesson video How To Play G C D Chords claiming they were stunned how I was playing the G chord. They claimed it was the wrong way to play the standard open string G chord on the guitar. This comment got me thinking what is the “right” way to play the G chord or which version is more “correct”?

So I decided to investigate if there is a wrong or right way to play this commonly used guitar chord. Check out my video below where I cover the 4 main ways to play the open string G chord and the pros and cons of each version and maybe even which way is the best way to play this commonly used guitar chord.

Plus the video shows how the G chord is played by AC DC and The Eagles with examples. With an investigation of how the pros play the G chord. How many guitarists can you recognise in the picture below?
