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 about 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 4 main ways to play the open string G chord, the pros and cons of each version and maybe even learn what is the best way to play this essential guitar chord.
The video shows how the G chord is played by AC DC, The Eagles, Pink Floyd and others with song examples. How many G chord playing guitarists can you identify in the picture below?
