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 one is nearly all open strings: leave the G, E, and A strings open and press only the middle finger on the C string at the second fret. Keep that one finger arched and right on its tip so it does not brush the open E or G strings on either side, letting all three open notes ring out.
