I use all of the fingerlngs for G that have been mentioned. Which I pick depends on what I'm going to move from and to and on what additional notes I may want to play while on the chord. Regardless, I most often use 320033 for G and move all fingers at once.

A good exercise is to start every chord with lowest pitch note and work your way up to high E. This breaks habits such as relying on the index as an anchor. Also many strumming patterns start with a bass note, this way you always have that down first.

Powertab I did about 10 years ago. Could get rid of the tied notes though to me it's easier to sight read as is.

For example: I've been playing slide for a couple of years now, but only started a couple of months ago doing so without the pick, because there was just no way to play the song I needed to learn without using the more traditional fingers-only approach. Pretty soon I will be equally adept (I'm not saying "good"!) at both techniques. The key is that I didn't develop both then apply them, I picked one and sort of rode it as far as I could; I was then both physically and mentally ready to expand on what I knew when I needed to do so. Not the only way, to be sure, but if the point of all this is to play music it makes sense to me. Have fun and play music with a few techniques, add as you go. |

Im pinky on as well for 90%. C-G-C fingerpicking arpeggio is my favorite chord change.
Depending on chord changes other fingers should be used and practiced for clean and smooth transitions. |

All new guitar players start with putting one finger down. As time goes on you will be able to make chords without even thinking about it.
I have always used my ring finger on the e and I can transition to a c pretty darn quick. I have recently started practicing using the pinky e because it does make for better availability of other chords. I am self taught and every instructional material I have ever seen says to put #3 on the e string, so that's how I learned a G and old habits are hard to break. Also Bluegrass and flat pickers also finger the B string, D note, a lot when playing a G so the way you are doing it can't happen. Actually a lot songs use what I call a D note G. Practice both ways is my advice. I don't particularly like fingering the b string because I just don't like that extra ring, but some songs like Feel Like Making love, it works beautifully.
