Are there different ways to play a C and G chord?!

Are there different ways to play a C and G chord?

i just started to learn acoustic guitar about 6 days ago and im getting the A,E, and D chords down pretty good but the C and G are a little rough for me and i believe i heard somewhere before that thats a couple different ways to play them? does anyone know if its true or not and if so, how to? please help it'd be much appreciated! =)

There are lots of ways to play chords on the guitar. I think the easiest way to play C and G is

G - middle finger on the third fret on the low E
index finger on the second fret on A
fourth finger on the third fret on B
fifth finger on the third fret on E

C - don't play the bottom E
fourth finger on 3rd on A
middle finger on 2nd on D
index finger on 1st on B

There's an even easier way to play C if you're going to be playing lots of Gs too - but it's C9 (with a D in it). Play G, then move your index and middle finger up one string (so your middle finger is now on A, not E) on the same fret and don't play the bottom E string.
