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 the G and C strings at fret 2 with your middle finger, tuck the index onto the E string at fret 1, then stretch the pinky to the A string at fret 4. That pinky reach is the genuine hurdle — anchor the middle-finger barre firmly first, then let the pinky arc over so it presses cleanly without muting the E string.
