Cadd9 chord and 4 note g chord

[Cecil]

I am having trouble with my thick fingers keeping the pinkie on g note of the highe string in place. Itt keeps slinding up to the next note. Anyone who has experienced this and has a solution?

Hi Cecil,
Two ideas…
1) Experiment with bending your pinkie a little more and turning your wrist to be a little more perpendicular to the guitar.
2) You can take the pinkie off completely and it’s the same chords. You’ll be playing an open E note instead of a G note. They are both part of the Cadd9 chords. (Notes: C, E, G, D)
