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

Barre your index flat across all four strings at the first fret, then add your ring finger on the C string at the third fret. Roll the index slightly onto its bony edge so the barre presses evenly, and tuck the ring finger right behind the third fret so the C string note rings out over the barre.
