Hi, there is more than one way to fret a 1st position G
The shape you mention with the pinky on the 1st string is best if playing in the key of C when the G is the 5 chord.
Do what you find most convenient - as long as you have a G (or two) and a B (or two) and a D (or two) you're doing
Remember you only really need three notes to make a major chord - re first , the 3rd and the 5th.
n.b. if that makes no sense, it isn't your fault, but you might benefit from one-to-one guidance.
