Bit of stretch for some but a very common chord. If it seems tough, just stick with it, you will get it as soon as your fingers limber up!

Video Lesson

 

Now time to have a go at the big 2/3 stretch!

G Chord can be quite a challenge because of the finger stretch involved, but all it takes is a little practice.

D Chord  

 

I had many problems with G when I was learning. Take your time stretch the finger and play them often, soon the stretch will feel easy. Make sure you are checking all the notes and that they are all ringing out clearly.

There are a few variations on basic ways to play G chord, this is the one that I think is best to start with, but if you have learnt a different one, stick with that for now, I will be going through some of the variations at a later stage. Check it with this audio file...

 

Once you have this one sorted then it's time to check out another stretchy chord in BC-132 • The C Chord
