How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the four strings, from the top G string (left) to the A string (right), and the horizontal lines are the frets. Numbers inside the dots indicate which finger to use: 1 (index), 2 (middle), 3 (ring), 4 (pinky). An X means don't play that string; an O means play it open. A bar spanning multiple strings means one finger presses across all of them at once — this is known as a barre chord.
Tips & Tricks
Lay three fingers in a row across fret 1 — index on the G string, middle on the C string, ring on the E string — and leave the A string open. The fingers sit close together, so keep them upright on their tips so the open A string and each fretted note ring without buzzing.
