G Power (5) rings entirely on open strings here — nothing to stop at all. Both B strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. The root is the G string itself. It sounds from G2 up to D4.
It has a metal cone instead of a soundboard, which is where the volume and the bark come from. Every position is a straight bar or a short declared slant over the open-G strings; a chord no bar shape spells is marked, not charted.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on G or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
