    Are you trying to do the four finger G? For me that’s the hardest flavor, to the point where I’d even rather play the barre at fret three. 🤣 I much prefer the middle/ring/pinky version that Neil Young and others favor, even though I think the four finger does usually sound better. A couple of things that might help? Try the other two three finger shapes just to build strength in the weak fingers, and also try switching from D to G with the ring finger staying planted. If you want to use it in a song instead of just drilling it, check out “Hold on to Me” by Cowboy Junkies – that D/G switch is the main theme of the song, and it’s super satisfying when you can get the open D to just drone through the whole thing. 😁
