G chord on 6-string guitar

[rupol2000]

The G chord sounds melodic on any fret with the same finger position. Is this done on purpose? Does this mean that you can change the key without barre?

I would answer but I'm a woman so I'm sure you think I can't work a guitar

[SweetSue92]

Yeah I have no idea either. Does he mean capo?

I don’t deny that women play the guitar well, I only objected to women in power, matriarchy

I have no idea.

I do know G-B-D like a reflex for whatever reason.

Well, you can say this, if you move the capo, you change the key, the same chord can be played higher or lower depending on the position of the capo, they sound melodic everywhere.
But G sounds melodic everywhere even without a capo.

GBD? Not GCD? You talking chords or picking? The B kinda threw me off.

I'm only a barely serviceable guitar player and mostly play cheater G. I am the queen of all the cheater chords actually...heh.

Okay! I think I get what OP is saying, and I doubt that it's true.

GBD is a G chord.

A C# E is an A chord.

What is "cheater G"?

Muting open strings defeats the purpose!

What kind of OP is this, even?!

I'm pretty ignorant, never used a capo or slide ever in my life.

Thanks, I know that....I thought you were talking about a chord progression, like I IV V

Yes, I didn't know that. Thank you.

a chord is a triad. Enough for 3 strings to sound

So one finger 3rd fret on the e-string, and only the top 3 strings?

I learned something new today.

You could actually use the 4th string, too.

That's GBG with no 5th. Adding the D makes it a major chord.

Aw shit, I'm all kinds of giving myself away.

Yes, I understand you, if you mute any barre chord it will sound. Yes, I just said something stupid.
Probably it worked for me because I muted the strings mechanically, so they sounded. There is no special system here, I was wrong.
Sorry

Damn, this is a separate playing technique; any triad can be played without barre, simply by muting the strings. You can change keys without barre. Why is this not widely known?

I'd have to buy some guitar strings to do that. It's not happening right now.

It's the middle of the night here.

I could use the acoustic, but those strings are murder. Not doing it.

I need 2-3 sets of strings, and I gotta figure out what I want.

I know it's something like an ultralight brass A for the E on the acoustic and then like medium .09

electrics after the wound strings.

I don't even like that acoustic.
