Let me preface this question with the fact I've only been playing for three or four months.
I saw a YouTube video where the G chord was barred on the 2nd fret across the C,E and A strings and the E string fretted on the 3rd fret. I don't know why I didn't think to play it like that as it is very easy to do.
Is there a technical reason not to play it that way? I realize that there are many ways to play the same thing, but I just wondered if more experienced players do this but when they teach they use the three finger fretted method in order to not confuse beginners?
