Question:
As an old geezer I strongly recommend to use the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers on a G. Why? Later.
Blessed, Dan
Answer:
Hmmmm....my *guess* would be that it would allow for the guitarist to have more flexiblity with moving the bass note around with his/her first finger...
Answer:
and hammers
Answer:
It allows for quick access to the following chords:
Gsus4
G7
Gmaj7
G6
Gadd9
Gm
Gm7
Gm7b5
Probably a few more including a #11
Answer:
Exactly, Dave! It also allows for a swift and precise change to a C Major and Cmaj7. Some chords, especially Gadd9 (old folks call it G2) and Gsus4 are virtually impossible to learn using the first three fingers. Eliminating those CSN&Y type endings of the old days.
Blessed, and with a reason to sing, Dan
Answer:
I reccomend what ever fingers you'd need to move to the other chord forms in the tune...

You cant do a C maj7 with the first 3 fingers?
Also, I quite regularly use my first 3 fingers for changes from G - C (and Cmaj7).
Answer:
The main reason, as already stated, is to be able to move into chords quickly and easily. Even better, it lets you do little hammer-ons and pull-offs in the chord, like
3-3
0-1
0-0
0-0
2-2
3-3
And as for Cmaj7...it is possible to do it with 1, 2, 3...but that doesn't allow for a quick and easy transition to the C chord-only moving a single finger if you use 2, 3, 4 for Cmaj7!
When you begin to play around with chord variations, it immediately makes a lot more sense. It's simply the most efficient way to finger.
Answer:
which finger is which?
and what G are you playing
tab it please?
Answer:
The chord is an open G.
The fingers are 1st to 4th, pointer to pinky.
Do you really need this tabbed?
Answer:
Okey dokey
Fingers 4 3 2 1 thumb (left hand)
Tab: finger: string:
3 3 6
2 2
0
0
0
3 4 1
Answer:
so its your pinky, pointy finger, and middle. why would this help me in the future? please inform me
Answer:
no, it's your pinky (#4) your ring finger (#3) and middle (#2). It makes switching to a C chord and others much easier and faster. Also it enables you to add a second or other things to your G.
