This video shows you some very comman variation on the G chord. There are lots of ways to play this depending on the circumstance, and you can choose which you use when…

G wizz
In what you call the g 5, if you dont mute the a string but play it open instead, what would you call it? A g5/a? I use this chord in sloop john b..after i go from Gsuss 2 times then i go to this br i go to ny D. Its a subble chang but makes a huge difference when adding the vocal.
Feels way too good. Coming a long way from F chord
You’re a boss
Thank you for the lessons i am learning a lot
I did anybody notice g cord kind of looks offensive
hi justin, your an amazing teacher, your really helping me! met u about 2 months ago, question ? you say e shape & a shape bar chords but i want to know there actually names. and what's a G bar cord, i know the g cord
I Hate all chords that include my goddamn pinky finger
I’m so used to doing the regular C to G (with the initial shapes he taught) that this actually feels slower to me
Boss
2:23, you can also mute a string with index finger
When I first saw the G5 fingerchart I was like "how the heck am I supposed to not play that string? its not like I could make it disappear!" then he did the muting thing I was like SWEET
I'm really starting to hate this G-chord…I'm finding the f-chord easier then this bullshit. Playing G-chord the standard way, my fat assed middle finger keeps buzzing against the A string as I strum. I can't seem to curve the middle finger enough to give the A string room to vibrate without hitting my middle fat-goddamned-assed finger.
This is a great lesson, especially at about 3:40 where you showed us the easy G from C. I just looked this up after trying the Eagles "Take it Easy" lesson. Great Job. My new Martin is getting quite a workout now!
I'm really thankful for this lesson thanks to you i know the variations of the G chord 😀
Ive already built up muscle memory to always play the "big g" so that c to g thing is actually slower to me
Me too! It's really hard, and I've been practicing for 2 days straight, and I'm still not quick enough! >.<
Well, there is also another variation, to play G chord:
with a thumb on the 3rd fret of the low E string and a ring finger on the 3rd fret of the high e string… It's the easiest way how to change between C and G chord, in my opinion. bit.ly*slash*X8yMCl
Thanks Justin! Playing guitar for 10+ years, and still i find something new that i didnt know!
Keep the good work!
That, was extremely useful. I've been playing under a year from online videos, and I think that's the most helpful tutorial I've seen since marty shwartz told me which way up to hold a guitar. And I wish that was a joke. I'd been trying to learn it upside down.
Some how I find the normal C to Normal G transition (and vice versa) much easier than the C to funky G transition
Nice lesson, needed the G to C transition and here it is.
i know these chords
I will now teach people 2 chords in this comment.
do the G chord at 4:13, put your index finger on the B string (1st fret) and you have a Gsus (G suspended). or do the G chord at 1:25, put you index finger on the G string (2nd fret) and you have a G2.
did this help anyone?
very interesting presentation.Simple!
I need to go to rehab. I am totally addicted to Justin's lessons. Wish I could take personal lessons with you Justin. You are about 1000 times better than my current teacher.
Freaking funny!! I've been playing this pattern and making out some others through the same song and always sounds great!! Thanks!!! :DD
@GuitarPiddleFicker
u dont even know the spelling of chord….lol
And why the hell are you wearing that sxilly hat indoor anyway…
wasted 5 valuable minutes on this video… thanks.. NOT
After watching this i feel like hanging myself for praacticing the g chord i learned from expertvillage all last night >.<
great lessons.. very usefull.. thanks justin.. please keep on teaching us
another very easy (and well-sounding imo) G-C movement is (fret numbers;) 320033 to x32033 (actually that's a Cadd9), i always used that a lot
that comment put a smile on my face : ) cheers
marvelous. Thanks
Of course he didnt just learn this..
