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
Leave the G string open, then place your index on the E string at the first fret, your middle on the C string at the second, and your ring on the A string at the second. Picture a little triangle; keep fingers curved so the open G rings, and make sure your middle finger doesn't lean into and mute that string.
