I am almost a newbie as I know a few chords. I am trying to find a simple explanation of playing the G scale. I don't understand the coding left by my college student instructor. Can somebody write it out for me like this:
And wording order is okay such as:

5th fret-3rd finger on low G string
3rd fret-2nd finger on a string

I think I can understand that and then go backwards.
