Hey Jason323,

It depends on what voicing you are actually using for G Major and Cadd9. If you're using this...

|-----3-----3-----|[br]|-----3-----3-----|[br]|-----0-----0-----|[br]|-----0-----2-----|[br]|-----2-----3-----|[br]|-----3-----x-----|

...then your ring and pinky would be planted the whole time on the B and High E strings and sort of reinforcing each other in their grip.
