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 middle on the C string at the second fret while index lays across the E and A strings at the first fret as a small two-string barre. Keep that index barre firm and flat so both the E and A strings sound, and arch your middle finger so the open G string keeps ringing underneath.
