    Hi @subsailor731 The “3 finger” G chord is 320003, or GBDGBG

    The “4 finger” G chord, aka Bluegrass G, aka “The Tony P” G chord, is

    320033, or GBDGDG.

    Since your standard G major chord is GBD, both of these variations counts as your standard G Major. The only difference is there’s 2 B notes and only 1 D note in the 3 finger, and there’s 2 D notes and only 1 B note in the 4 finger. They are both G Major but they sound just a bit different, so it depends on what song you are playing, what “sound” you’re after and also, how well you can make both G chord variations, and how well you can transition to both variations from what comes immediately before and after your G chord.
