The “Marshall Stack” G chordĪka, “Rockin’ G,” aka “AC/DC G,” this is technically not a G chord, but is a G5 chord since there is no B note. You should use this version of G for songs like “Me and Bobby McGee” and other songs where there’s a quick change between C and G. This makes it easier to quickly move to the C chord and back. You play this chord without the index finger, and use the second, third, and fourth fingers to play the same notes in the previous version of G.

You’ll find this chord in songs like “Wonderwall” by Oasis (and in fact a lot of Oasis’s songs) and a lot of Taylor Swift songs. There’s a lot of songs that use this chord, because you can leave your third and fourth fingers down and move your first and second fingers around to get other chords.
