How to Play This Chord
Position your fingers on the fretboard as shown in the diagram. The vertical lines represent the strings, from low E (left) to high E (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 symmetrical chord repeats every three frets starting from the root. A practical voicing starts on the open D string, but the movable shape at the 5th fret is easier to grab cleanly. Use it as a chromatic passing chord between Dm and Em for smooth jazz movement.
