Guitar Lessons - "g Major" Chord guitar tab

Sorry guys, but I made some changes to every one of my chord tabs

again because I want them to be uniform…I guess I just have OCD.

So please just give these ones a bump into the site. Thanks!!

Just in case you are not familiar with tablatures, these six

lines represent the following strings on the guitar

|=high e

|=B

|=G

|=D

|=A

|=low E

Here is how to play a "G Major" chord. There are 3 ways to play it.

A "G" Chord is always composed of 3 different notes as long as

its major. G, B, and D.

1: The basic G Major Chord

|-3-|-->This is a G note.

|-0-|-->This is a B note.

|-0-|-->This is a G note.

|-0-|-->Here is a D note.

|-2-|-->This is another B note.

|-3-|-->This is the G note in the bass.

2: The E-string "G Major" Power Chord. This is one of the many

power chords commonly used in rock music. All E-string major

power chords use this same fingering, so it is important to remember

this fingering. It is also easy to play any power chord because

you will get used to holding your fingers like this.

|-3-|-->This is a high G note.

|-3-|-->This is a D note.

|-4-|-->This is a B note.

|-5-|-->This is a G note.

|-5-|-->This is a D note.

|-3-|-->Here is the same G note found in the bass of the regular

G major chord.

3: The A-string "G Major" Power Chord. Any A-string major power

chord has this fingering as well. That is why power chords are

so easy to play.

|-10-|-->This is the high D note.

|-12-|-->This is a B note

|-12-|-->Here is a G note.

|-12-|-->Here is a D note.

|-10-|-->And a G in the bass.

|-x--|-->Dont play this string.

These are the fundamental "G Major" chords in the guitar world.

You actually can take any combination of the notes G, B, and D

and make a "G Major" chord out of them. But to tell you the truth,

you will never find yourself using any other combination than

the ones shown here. So good luck, and practice the fingering

of these chords. After that they come naturally to you.
