How to read a guitar chord chart
A chord diagram is a top-down view of your guitar fretboard. Once you know how to read it, you can play any chord on any chart.
- Vertical lines are the six strings — low E (thickest) on the left, high E (thinnest) on the right.
- Horizontal lines are frets. The thick line at the top is the nut.
- Dots show exactly where to press the string, and the number inside each one is the finger to use — 1=index, 2=middle, 3=ring, 4=pinky.
- O above the nut means to play the string open. × above the nut means to mute the string or not play it.

Guitar chord chart FAQs
A chord diagram shows your fretboard from the front. The six vertical lines are the strings, with the thickest (low E) on the left and the thinnest (high E) on the right. The horizontal lines are frets, and the thick line across the top is the nut. Each dot shows a string to press down and where to press it. Above the nut, an O means to play that string open and an × means to mute the string or not play it.
