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
Stagger your fingers across three frets: index on the first fret of the A string, middle on the second fret of the E string, then ring and pinky on the third fret of the G and C strings. The diagonal shape feels awkward at first, so anchor the index low and let the others fall into their frets above it. Keep each fingertip arched to avoid muting neighbors.
