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
Barre at the 2nd fret and add the B note (sus4) with your pinky. This chord resolves naturally to F# major and is used extensively in worship music and classic rock. The resolution from sus4 to major is one of the most instinctively satisfying sounds in music.
