The G Major chord is easily one of the most popular guitar chords. The open G chord is one of the first chords that most guitarists learn. The open chord version of G uses all six guitar strings, so it feels and sounds like a ‘full’ chord.
The key of G is also a very popular key, with many Pop, Rock and Folk songs having been written in the key of G. Most of the chords in the key of G are also very common open chords (D, Em, C, Am) so it’s an obvious favourite for guitarist.
The most common way to play the G chord is in the open position. This is one of the most commonly used chord shapes and one of the first ones that most guitarists learn.

The difference between the two is that the first shapes adds an extra D note to the chord (on the 2nd string) whereas the second shape adds an extra B note to the chord (on the 2nd string).
The easiest version of the G chord is essentially a mini version of the standard, open G chord (the three-finger version). It uses the first three strings of the guitar and only involves one finger (as well as open strings). These mini chords can be a great way to get started when learning the guitar, as they allow you to play chord songs without learning full (and sometimes difficult shapes).
