There must be a name for it. A name that the music theory purists would approve. I have tried to find it on the internet, and the best I came up with was an alternate G. But it is more than an alternate. It's kinda pretty. I would likely use it when playing a C add 9 or a D sus 4 with a pull off to D. But it just isn't a true G. The ring finger plays the D on the third fret of the second string to convert the natural B in the G chord.
As a "seasoned" beginner with a whole year and a half of guitar and music theory under my belt, this frustrates me.... Everyone seems to pass this G off as just a regular G, while creating fancy sus and add names for every other embellishment.
Can you answer this conundrum?
