    Is that the same 'G' shape as the one Jim Beloff talked about during the NAMM expo?

    It makes it easier to transition from G to G7.

    She has long fingers tho, I don't think i can do touch the tuners with my fingers that way.

    Jim Beloff's is the "pinky" G. Greta's is the "ringfinger" G. Much more exotic, albeit less useful.
