How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the strings, from low E (left) to high E (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
The barre voicing at the 1st fret is the primary option, but the high string tension can make it challenging. The 6th-fret E-based sus2 shape is more comfortable. Sus2 chords add a floating, modern quality that works as a substitute for the plain major chord.
