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 E and A strings at fret 1 with your index, then reach up with your ring finger to the G string at fret 3 and your pinky to the C string at fret 3. The stretch from the index barre to the upper fingers is the challenge — keep your thumb low behind the neck to open the hand.
