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 your index flat as a small barre across the first fret of the C, E, and A strings, then add your ring finger on the third fret of the G string. Keeping even pressure along the barre is the challenge, so press just behind the fret and let the ring finger arch over the top string.
