A very popular instructor on another site recently came right out and said that if you find yourself muting the A string on the G chord, that's ok. Chord sounds fine. He even said he likes the sound a little better with that string muted. Sounds a little brighter I believe is what he said, which I guess makes sense when you take that low note out of the chord.

It really does come down to if it sounds good it is good.


It takes as long as it takes unless you quit - then it takes forever and you will never get there.
