Note: Where there are numerous indications of the ‘I’s on the
same fret, this is a barre chord, and the Index finger lays
across all strings at that fret.
* The second version of G shown in barre form is to be used when
sliding to G from the F# or G# chords.
The G/F# ( i.e. G chord with an F# bass note) is a passing ‘chord’,
between G and Em, emphasis the 6th string on each chord.
T = Thumb I = Index finger M = Middle finger
R = Ring finger L = Little finger
