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
Middle and ring sit side by side at the second fret on the G and C strings, index presses the E string at the first fret, and pinky reaches the A string at the third fret. The pinky stretch is the tricky part, so anchor your index first and let the other fingers fan out around it. Curl your fingertips so each string rings clean.
