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

Mirror the F7 grip one fret higher: index on the E string at the second fret, middle on the G string at the third, ring on the C string at the fourth, and pinky on the A string at the fourth. The stretch is the challenge, so relax your hand and let the pinky and ring stack tidily at the fourth fret rather than forcing them apart.
