G Major is a Frequently Used Acoustic Guitar Chord
May 23rd, 2008 | by admin |Thinking of learning to play guitar? It may seem challenging at first, but once you get over the intial unfamiliarity, it's not that hard to play some basic songs. One of the acoustic guitar chords you will use frequently is G major. This chord uses three fingers of your left hand: the middle finger on the third fret of the sixth string, the index finger on the second fret of the fifth string, and the ring finger on the third fret of the first string. Leave the other three strings open. Then play all six strings, one at a time. You should be able to hear the chord clearly. If you hear buzzing or rattling, adjust your fingers on the frets. Move your finger down the string or try pressing the strings down harder on the fingerboard if the tone sounds off. Check to see that your fingers aren't touching each other or any of the other strings. Then when all the notes sound in tune, give them a strum all at once. That's G major!
