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

Set up a gentle stairstep: ring finger on the G string at the third fret, middle on the C string at the second, and index on the E string at the first, leaving the A string open. Keep your fingers on their tips so the open A rings freely and none of the lower fretted strings get muffled.
