lets see. those notes are B, D, G, and C.
That chord, you might as well add the G on the 6th string.

I BELIEVE its a G chord, and the C is some sort of suspension. Im not sure tho.

Its a G chord.. with a C in it. I dont want to give you a chord name cuz im not exactly sure.

WOO! i should have just put it. I knew it was a G with a 4, but i thought maybe it was a supended chord or something like that.

well... ya can call it whatever ya want... theres plenty of chords that have G, B, D, and C

C7sus2/B

Gadd4/B

Bm6(add2no5)

D6sus4(b7)

or, you can use chords where the root isnt even played..

Em7(b6no1)

etc etc etc. some of those chords might not be noted properly... as i said earlier.. im not perfect
