Over the past few months I've been half paying attention to my G fingering. For a while I tried to use the 2 1 3 but that left me with nothing left but my pinky for effect. So I just always fall back into the 3 2 4 which leaves my index to box the C. When it comes to where I'm going, I spent a lot of time and effort working on picking em up and putting em down so I don't often worry about where I came from or where I'm going.
I play a lot in G but I tend to play mostly barred so I'm fingering around the fifth fret. Since I mostly play blues I mostly play G7 and use my pinky for descending half steps on the B string. If I bar the C7 I will use my pinky for descending half steps on the E string. If I play the C7 in the first position all four fingers are present and accounted for. Lately I've been experimenting with hooking a C9 and D9 to replace the 7s.
I used to be able to box strings with my pinky on any string but since my joints don't work like they used to I sometimes get knuckle lock and can't get it bent. I can either box the the A string or the B string but not both. Anyway, I use the 3 2 4 G fingering cause it works for me. But that's just me. Different strokes for different folks.
