Guitar Lesson #38 -G Major Chord

hey, beginner here. i'm having trouble with the chords. my fingers always accidentally touch the strings below it and the result is this warped and fuzzy sound. how do i avoid this?

It's a tricky chord to play. I'm also beginning and I noticed that wrist placement makes a huge difference. Hold the chord and adjust your wrist and play the notes. eventually you'll find an angle that works for you and will make the chord sound really nice. But if you keep your wrist in a bad angle (for you), you'll likely mute a string.

move your thumb

a lot of it has to do with finger strength. it will come naturally as you play more and more. something that also helps is when you find your fingers are touching different strings to give you a funny sound, strum each string slowly and then you should be able to identify which string is affected the most and change it

Ive been having trouble in that to. Just center them properly

thanks for the vid, i was really confused because my chord book said not to play the 3 middle strings, guess it was a typo, thanks man

when any combination of 3 (or more, but most of the time 3) strings are pressed down on different frets

when you hold multiple strings simutaneously to achieve a certain sound. like playing a bunch of strings at once

Nope, other way around.

thanks SO MUCH !
