That CFII should know that Class G airspace is not depicted on Aeronautical charts. The blue and Magenta shading he is referring to is Class E airspace. Class G exists everywhere where there is no Class B, C, D or E airspace. It covers everything from the ground up to the first layer of controlled airspace, and everything above 60,000 feet.

Class G airspace is not depicted on a chart. Irahter it is the "everything else". What I mean is if some other type of airspace is not depicted in that point, its probably class G.

Class G airspace generally exists from the surface up to either 700ft AGL (transition area = magenta fading) or 1,200ft AGL(blue fading).
You probably will only see it on a Terminal (Class B) chart around satellite airports. On sectional charts, you shouldn't have any trouble finding the magenta or blue fading areas. Just look for airports and you'll see the fading areas.

I recommend you have a look the NACO's Aeronautical Chart Users Guide. It is avaiable on line at:
