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

This is the same movable barre shape, here starting around fret 3. Lay your index flat across all four strings, then place your ring finger on the C string two frets above the barre and your pinky on the E string one fret beyond that. Roll your index slightly toward the strings so it presses evenly.
