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
Play this using the movable augmented shape at the 4th fret. Since augmented chords are symmetrical every four frets, you can also find the same chord at the 8th and 12th frets. Use whichever position is closest to where you are on the neck.
