To round off the recent posts on guitar chord shapes, let’s have a look at the G shape.

I like this shape, and having it your repertoire can be very useful. It’s probably the least common of the movable shapes because the two bass notes are only a third apart. This can make the chord sound a little muddy and I often mute the third or leave it out.

Here are some variations, you’ll be able to find more:

G Major 7

G Minor
