Note: Check out these chords. On the 6th(E) string that got the X, you
can place your tumb on it but don't press it. Yup, the G could be
a stranger to some of you guys but it is correct. You can still
play another type of Gmajor, it's ok. I'm just following the
video clip, if I'm not wrong, that's the way Avril's lead
guitarist play them.
