Am I Playing The G Chord Wrong ???
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”?
