I can’t help, I think I’ll continue practicing, I mean, that’s a challenge, exciting 
If you can answer that or someone else? 
If your muting the B on the A string and fretting the D on the B string then it’s a G5, no 3rd in the chord to make it a G major.

What is the hacked version called?
I just told you.
I presume you mean the 2 finger version Justin teaches in module 6, with the muting of the A-string. I’m far from an expert in music theory, but I guess that’s still just a G. For the classic 3 finger G, the A string is fretted at the 2nd fret, making it a B. If you mute that string, just fretting the 1st and the 6th string, you still have a B in there, as the B-string is played open.
1st, 2nd and 6th string. Same shaped as the hacked (muting 5th string) but just adding the 3rd finger to fret that note on the B string. Without it, the sounds is bad, thin and out of tune. To me.
I’m afraid you didn’t 
. I don’t know much of music theory, but one chord shape has a different name than the other different chord shape, right?
He did, it’s G5

i find the normal g easier, should i still learn both
Further down the track you will find 3 or 4 variations with different fingerings. To begin with 1 G is enough, whichever you prefer is fine.

This is really difficult to get used to after years of “normal” G
agreed. I’m not exactly sure where I learned it originally, marty or a random justin thing or hell, could be rocksmith for all I remember. G’s probably my easiest chord tbh, 3 or 4 fingered versions. I’d have been fine if he said this way was just better for beginners because of the fingers or the stretch or whatever. But he has to throw in that it sounds better most of the time?? That got to me. I find I’m still playing it the old way but muting the a string even though I’m fingering it at the same time.
WOW!!!
Much easier than three finger
Thank you!!!
