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
Barre your index across the second fret of the C, E, and A strings, then press your ring finger on the fourth fret of the G string. The barre is the main hurdle, so roll your index slightly onto its side and keep steady pressure, while the ring finger arches cleanly over the high G.
