G is one of the notes in the diatonic scale; it is the fifth tone (dominant) of the C major scale. In solfege, it is called Sol.
Using a reference frequency of 440 Hz for the A above middle C, and calculated in equal temperament, middle G (G4) has a frequency of 391.995 Hz. The 3rd string of a guitar in open tuning is tuned to G3.
G is also the key of G major.
G is the note that indicates the treble clef. The line of the pitch of G is indicated in the treble clef by the lower curl in the treble clef symbol, which itself is a stylized G.
