G Major Guitar Chord

G

To play the G chord place your:

1. First finger just behind the second fret of the 5th string.
2. Second finger just behind the third fret of the 6th string.
3. Third finger just behind the third fret of the 1st string.

To play the G major guitar chord, play all six strings with the pick at the same time using a downward motion. This is called a strum. Hold the pick lightly and strum from the wrist. Keep your wrist relaxed.

If any notes buzz or sound muffled, you may have to press harder. Make sure your fingers are just behind the fret.
