Hi:
I saw Bob Dylan playing this chord on tv once and thought it looked cool so I learned it, but I have no idea what the chord is. The chord is played by putting your index finger on the A string on the second fret. Putting you middle finger on the low E string on the third fret. Putting your third finger on the b string on the third fret and putting your fouth finger on the high E string of the third fret.
And that's the chord. It's a great one. Does anybody exactly what it is? Do you know what it's called?
I hope you can answer my question.
Thanks.

Hmm...I'm a little confused--but I'm sure it's my fault. So help me figure this out: you've been playing and writing for 14 years, and in all that time your only exposure to a G Major chord is having seen Bob Dylan play it once on TV?

In 14 years there've been no lead sheets, no tabs, no chord finders--no songs of your own for that matter--that had a G chord?
 
Oh yeah...forgot to mention--the fourteen year stat was from another thread. His words, not mine. :D
 
2 more chords in 28 years and you'll be able to play a song.
 
I think you need to learn a little music theory.

A chord can be voiced a multitude of ways as long as it contains the proper ingredients.It's not magic,it's more like math.

So it was coz it looked cool rather than sounded good ?
Methinks someone is trying to rizzle our razzle. ;)
 
Depends if Bob had it capo'd. It may of been a Bb if capo'd 3rd!
 
Thanks to those who helped me.

Hello:
Thanks to those of you who supplied relevant information regarding the question I had about that particular chord. If it is different variation on a G then thanks to those of you for informing me of that in a courteous manner. For your information, I have studied some music theory, but had never run across that particular chord before and thought that I would receive some help in a pleasant way. As for the rest of you who felt that they needed to respond to my post by making stupid, insensitive, snide comments, you're all jerks! I could use some stronger words, but I have too much respect for this site to do that. I think it degrades, demeans, and is counter productive to the purpose of this site to post comments like that.
I didn't join this site to be insulted and I wouldn't have insulted any of you with such a post.
I think that if any of you who made such comments have any kind of a conscience you should apologize.

Ok, if you were truly serious about your question(s), including the one about which key you'd be in, then I am sorry for making fun of them. They did not appear to be realistic questions, particularly given the years of experience you have. But if they're true, then I apologize.

But if you're yanking my chain, no moderator on the planet will be able to lessen the wrath that will reign down upon you. :laughings:
