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 shape sits up the neck starting at the third fret: barre your index across the G, C and E strings there, then add your ring finger two frets higher on the A string. It's a movable shape—slide the whole thing down two frets and it becomes C#maj7, so the same grip covers several chords.
