CHORDS
With your guitar tuned to E Standard, the following chords are a great place to begin
learning.
Each row represents a fret – the below chords are all played among the first three frets.
Each black circle represents a finger, and the numbers below indicate which finger.
1 = Index finger
2 = Middle finger
3 = Ring finger
Your 4
(pinky) finger is not required for any of these beginner chords, but will be used in more
th
advanced chords as you progress.
0 above the nut means this string is strummed 'open', with no finger on any fret.
X above the nut indicates a 'muted' string, using your thumb to touch the string so that it
does not play a note when strummed.
