How to Read Guitar Chord Diagrams
Here are a few easy pointers on how to read guitar chord diagrams when the diagrams are in their default vertical position:
- Each vertical line represents a string on the fretboard, the low E is the first vertical line and the high E is the last vertical line.
- Each horizontal line represents a fret mark on the fretboard
- Each dot represents a finger placement on that fret. The number inside a dot represents which finger should be used
- A note like 3fr means that the diagram starts on the 3rd fret
- A thicker first horizontal line (representing the guitar nut) means the diagram starts on the 1st fret
- A 'O' at the top of one of the strings means that the string stays open
- A 'X' at the top of one of the strings means that the string isn't strummed
