Hi @pjmatthews3702gmail-com , For the time being while you stretch and work on your hand position and finger flexibility consider this: the three finger G chord we are taught is actually three G chords in one. Think of the three bass strings as one G chord ( Cover E and A strings appropriately for G chord) and then, the treble string G chord, covering the high E string only and playing the three bottom strings. There is another G chord and it is hidden because you don’t have to fret any strings but strike only the middle 3 strings open D,G,B strings. It is a full G chord. Three ways to make G chords all in the same place, add in the 3 finger G shape and there are 4. I hope one of these is a win for you. Keep working toward that which remains challenging but take a win with a easier G. (hint: down the road this concept will have tremendous effect, not just with G chords but with all the G shapes wherever you want to move them.) Give it a shot see if it works for you. Any questions? report back…we all can improve together.
