Answer 1

There is a G string, you just need to pluck that and you'll play a G note.

Answer 2

from the thickest, the strings are E A D G B e, numbers 6 5 4 3 2 1. #6 is the thickest string. then.. there are the frets. you put a finger on the 6th string, 3rd fret. And theeen.. 5th string, 2nd fret. 2nd and 1st strings.. 3rd fret. You can figure out for yourself the correct finger placements.

Answer 3

go to ultimate-guitars.com..it'll teach you how.just place the arrow on top of the chords..you can also search in youtube.com on basic guitar lessons as well.

don't just dwell on yahoo.answers coz some are just after for the points and might not be so useful in providing you with info. google it but at the same time, post it.that way, you're hitting two birds with one stone.use your resourcefulness.

good luck!=)
