Is anyone else having a LOT of trouble with the G Chord? I am finding it almost impossible to play without muting the 5th string. I’ve tried every contortion possible. About the only way I can make it work is practically hanging my ring finger off the fretboard and holding down the string with the pad of my ring finger.

Any ideas on what I might be doing wrong or how to make it work? And yes, I’ve tried the chord with my middle finger in the 6th string as well.
