Question:
I read somewhere that the G (032003) shaped barre chord is the least commonly used open string shape when doing barre chords, reason being the unfeasible stretch for the fingers than makes a complete G barre chord impossible.
Is this true? Can anyone here pull one off besides me, or am I a freak?
Answer:
Sure, I can do it. But, honestly, it hurts. I'd just rather use another shape up or down the fretboard.
I can't see that it is so important to get that shape, as long as it's not the perfect voice for the chord. And besides, I'm SLOW getting into it.

Yes... that's exactly what I meant.
Answer:
Yep, I can do it (I have long fingers) but it's very tough. Get Fretboard Logic SE now. It teaches you all about that stuff.

You dont need fbl to teach you that stuff.
Eric, I can do it, but barely. Rare is the occasion that I can do that form without muting the 5th string.
Answer:
I can do it.
I like using it, it's different from the "E" barre chords that are used over and over.
Answer:
I can do it fine, but I don't really use it that much. I find the C form much harder than the G and D, which are supposed to be the hard ones.
Answer:
I don't use the full G form barre, like, ever. However, partial forms are exceedingly helpful to use oftentimes. It's a case where the theory of the full G form barre is more important than the practice.
It's quite possible, though. Just barre the D G B strings.
Answer:
I can do it. I think I'm gonna start using it a lot more now that you mention it...
Answer:
I use it all the time, but I had never heard it was a barre chord, I have also used a nother form of G (355433) which I thought was the barre chord form of G.
Answer:
No, we're talking about the G form of the major barre chords, being 32BBB3. A movable chord, where the Bs are barred, and the numbers are frets ahead of the barre.
For example 875558 is the G form barre chord of the C chord. 542225 is the G form barre chord of A.

^ What he said ^
Playing any chord, barre or not, does not mean having to always play 5 or 6 strings.
I can play the G-form barre up and down the neck yet rarely desire or even need to play it as a 6 string chord yet find a fragment of it more useful most of the time.

That's an E form.
It's a fretboard logic thing I'm guessing.
I knew the C form and A form and G form and E form and D form barre chords and had been playing them for the past 2 and a half decades not knowing that someone went and developed this thing called the CAGED system.
Silly me, I just called them "chords".
Answer:
I like Chords too. Instead of all these allaborate names.
Just tried the G barre and got it. OoOoOoO
