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

Place your index on the G string at the first fret, middle on the E string at the second, ring on the C string at the third, and pinky on the A string at the third. The fingers spread across four strings and three frets, so anchor the index first and let the ring and pinky settle side by side at the third fret.
