Oh, I see I mis-interpreted what Spectre was originally saying. I was starting with an open C chord, but I was confused about what was moving and I did not have a guitar in hand. Instead of mentally “dropping” the middle finger (to a higher-pitched string) to fret an A on the G string, my mind was “dropping” the ring finger (to a lower-pitched string) to fret a G-note on the A string. I now understand Stan’s reply, which had me really confused since I was picturing a G in the bass position. No doubt Stan was equally confused by what I offered. I was analyzing the wrong chord! I’m a bit of a visual learner, and once I had the wrong picture in my mind, I was doomed.
