G chord on guitar

In this article I will tell you how to put and clamp G chord on guitar for beginners. As a rule, it is taught only after learning the Am, Dm and E chords, and it is so common that it is studied simultaneously with the C chord (which I highly recommend), because they go after each other in 90% of the songs (first G, then FROM). By learning the chords Am, Dm, E, C, G, A (six chords), you will be able to play a huge number of songs on the guitar, so go for it!

The G chord is not so difficult, but still a certain skill is needed here – the 1st, 5th and 6th strings are clamped, some kind of stretching of the fingers will be needed.
