![]() ![]() Strumming – Strumming open chords on acoustic sounds great. We will list out here some main differences and how to approach them. Playing chords on electric guitar needs a slightly different approach than acoustic. You will get to a point where it becomes instinctive to mute the string when you don’t want sounds to ring out. Muting is a skill that develops itself through time. For example, when playing the first G major variation on the list, you can mute the A string by slightly touching it with the tip of your index finger. You can also mute with the tip of your index finger or any other finger the string above it.Muting with your right hand involves resting your hand on the strings close to the bridge, the farther from the bridge and the harder you press down, the more muted the sound comes out.Muting with your left hand involves resting your hand slightly on the strings without pressing down to hard, just enough to mute them.Put your third finger (middle) on the 9th fret of the D string.Īll these different G major chord variations use a lot of muting from both hands.Put your fourth finger (pinky) on the 10th fret of the A string.Put your third finger (ring) on the 10th fret of the low E string.These types of chords that avoid the low E and A strings are great to use on an electric guitar or when playing in bands with multiple guitar players or a bass player – since the bass notes are played by either the bass player or one of the guitar players.Īnother variation that produces a heavy sound uses the following fingering: This shape is a simplified version of a barre chord shape, as it uses only a partial chord on the 2 bottom strings. Put your third finger (ring) on the 5th fret of the D string.Put your first finger (index) as a barre on the 3rd fret of the B and high E strings.You can imagine it as playing the bottom part of the chord. The first variation is based on the barre chord shape with a root on the E strings. Some of these variations are very easy to play and also add a special flavor to the familiar sound of the G major chord. The G major can be played in many other positions on the neck, apart from the open chord and barre chord positions. But, if you apply the proper technique, barre chords can be very easy to master and very useful. Put your fourth finger (pinky) on the 5th fret of the D string.īarre chords are widely misunderstood, some players avoid them as much as they can by using capos.Put your third finger (ring) on the 5th fret of the A string. ![]()
