In my limited knowlede and limited fretting ability, why wouldn't it call for just hitting the open G on the third string? Would I not be right in say that the latter would be a little easier to play? I am not critisizing anyone on the way they tab music as I know nothing about it. It's just a question that baffles me and I have noticed this in many tabs.
Thanks,

Playing the G note at different locations on the fretboard is called octaves. It will give the music a different feeling.
