How many folks play first position G chord with index, second, and third finger?
And how many folks play it with second, third and pinky? :?:

What's a G chord? http://www.chordbook.com/guitarchords.php
Can you play one on bass? I don't see why not
Would you want to? What the hey, I wasn't doing anything else this afternoon. :lol:
Would it sound much different from strumming all four open strings at once? You got me on that one. I don't know what it would sound like on bass. Doesn't seem like there's enough stringy thingies. :lol:
Showoff! :lol:Stirlander said:I play it with all four of my fingers. I don't like the simple voicing. I add my ring finger on the b string, 3rd fret.
walrus said:Second, third, pinky. Depending on the song, I will add my ring finger to the B string. Those are two different chords, with two different sounds.
Here's another one - an E chord - I play it with the second, third, and fourth fingers, leaving the pinky free to do an E7 or something. But I've seen people who leave the second finger free and play it with the third, fourth, and pinky. I always wonder why, since the second finger can't be used for much.
But - there is usually more than one way to play any given guitar chord. Once you learn it a particular way, it is tough to change! As long as it sounds good! Sometimes I will finger a chord a different way to make it easier to get to the next one I am playing - it's all very fluid...
Griehund - why does it bug you?
