Which of these two G Major Chords is the most correct one?
e-3-3
B-0-3
G-0-0
D-0-0
A-2-2
E-3-3
According to my limited knowledge of scales and music theory, they should both be a G Major Open Chord, so how come everytime I play the one on the right, people tell me it's wrong and that the G Major is played like the left one? Can I please get some clarification on this? An expert-opinion would be even better.
The way I see it, they're the same thing, only in one you have two thirds, in the other you have two fifths, and it's solely up to the individual which one they want to use (or use the one that sounds best for a given context)...
