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

Each string gets its own finger, climbing across the neck: index on the G string at the first fret, middle on the E string at the second fret, ring on the C string at the third fret, pinky on the A string at the fourth fret. The spread can feel like a stretch, so relax your hand and let each fingertip press straight down so the steps stay clean.
