Hmmm...that's not a common chord.  I'd call it a G(9)/D.  When I play your 
mystery chord, it reminds me of G(9), but without the lower two strings.
G(9) is 320303.

C#/E#: Yuck.  C# is my death chord; you can't really play it well without a
barre, and I can't do barres.  But C#/E# is xx3121, which isn't easy, but
it's not impossible.

G/F#: Easy.  220003 or 220033.

Here's my list that I put together.  All the little *'s and -'s are my 
_own_ personal editorial symbols; a chord that I think is impossible might
be really easy for someone else.  Especially because I can't do barres
(I have only ever played an acoustic guitar; rumor has it they're much 
easier on electrics).  Note that this list is intended for beginners (I
originally typed it for a friend who'd never played before)...


*	easy
-	harder, but I can play it
--	I avoid it if at all possible
---	I couldn't play it if my life depended on it
s	sounds weird
