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

Index presses the G string at the first fret, ring takes the C string at the third fret, and middle barres the E and A strings together at the second fret. The little middle-finger barre is the challenge, so flatten it just enough to cover both strings cleanly while keeping your ring finger arched so it doesn't deaden the E string.
