7 Basic Open Position Guitar Chords

For the G chord there are two fingerings listed. The one in black is recommended. The one in red should be avoided if at all possible. The one in black may seem more awkward at first only because you are using your 4th finger, which is your weakest finger. There are plenty of guitar players that use the red fingering. One good example for not using it, is switching between a G and a C chord. It is far to much work to use the red. See the videos below.

The biggest problem encountered with this chord is getting the first string to sound. Make sure that your third finger is not touching the first string.
