I have been playing the banjo and wondered how to play the G chord? I'm open to any suggestions.

Nice one Doug!
I always refer to the John Boulding tutorial the G chord explained.
I find it really helpful!

Gee, there's a few ways.
It's easiest just to play it open, no fretting, just strum across the fretboard.
Then there's 3, 4, 5, 5, and 7, 8, 9, 9 and 12 barre and so on up the neck.
I'm sure there's even more, but I'll let others chime in with their thoughts.

Close your eyes and when you are ready the G chord will present itself to you.

Q: How do I play a "G" chord?
A: Badly .... why should it be any different than the others?

I typically don't tell people to F up on purpose, but this situation calls for F'ing up.
