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 a four-finger stretch: index on the first fret of the G string, then middle, ring, and pinky stacked on the fourth fret of the C, E, and A strings. The hard part is fanning three fingers into one fret while reaching back for the index, so set the fourth-fret fingers first, then drop the index in. Keep them upright so none of them buzz.
