Yes that is true @jorgemac , if you use the 4 finger g then the ring finger can anchor both the G and D chords. But if the progression is C => G => D, I’ll often use the 3 finger G where my pinky is on the high E and the ring on the low E. Now it’s clumsy going to the D chord for me.

The point is: at first you are just learning to form chords but in short order you really need to be looking at transitioning from chord to chord and depending on where you come from, there are new challenges to overcome.
