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.
