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
The barre at the 4th fret (Em shape) is the standard voicing. G#m is the relative minor of B major and appears often in pop and rock songs in that key. The Em barre shape at the 4th fret is one of the more comfortable positions once you've built barre chord strength.
