G Major has one sharp, F, therefore, when playing the F you will raise it one scale degree.

Starting on the lowest G you have, the open G, you would play the pattern for major scales; Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Whole Step, Half Step. W,W,H,W,W,W,H

The first thing to do would be to play the open G. Then use your first finger for the A. Tune it to your open A, it should be a perfect octave below. Then, play a whole step to the B with your second finger, and a half step to the C with the third finger. Play the open D, and use a first finger for E, second for F#( F Sharp ), and, instead of using your third finger to play the G, shift your hand up so that your first finger plays the G. This is called Third Position. On the D string still, use your second finger and a whole step to play an A, and another whole step with the third to play a B. Then, do a half step with your fourth finger to play the C natrual. This should sound like first position on the A string. Move your fingers over to the A string, and use the same pattern in third position to play D, E, F#, and G. This is a two octave G major scale.

There are multiple fingerings of course and certain ones will feel more secure. You ask for two octave, and if i assume you will continue into the realm of three octave scales you might consider starting on the C string second finger. Practicing this way will make learning the 3 octave scale much easier, and also, if you get it right, this fingering requires no shifting. If you wish to start on the G string, a good fingering is beginning in second position (the start note) and shifting 3 positions on the D string (like a shift from first to third position on after second finger), then again on the A string (same, after second finger), then making your way down. This would be, [1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2,3,4,1,2,1,2,3,2,1,2,1,4,3,2,1,2,1,4,3,2,1] with shifts on the 6th, 12th, etc notes]. other fingerings are out there, but this uses the shift from a first position to a third position pattern, usually the most comfortable.

There are several possible sets of fingerings. This is the most common one.

Start on the D string. 234, then go to the A string. 12, then shift up to 3rd position and play 1234. Now go to the E string (still in 3rd position): 12, then shift up to 5th position 1234.

On the way down: 4321, shift down to 3rd position 21, over to the A string (still in 3rd position) 4321, shift down to first position 21, then over to the D string 432.

Congratulations! You made it!

On the G string: A (1) B (extended 2= 2+) C# (extended 4)

D string: D (0) E (1) F# (2+) G# (extended 4)

A string: A (0) B (1) C# (2+) D (1) E (2+) F# (1) G# (2+) A (3)

(it is recommended that octave scales starting with an open string are fingered as 0,1,2,1,2,1,2,3.)
