 How to read chord diagrams

Fretting fingers notation:

1: index, 2: middle 3: ring, 4: pinky, 0: open string

Example: C major
Low E string: open (0); ring finger (3) on the 3rd fret of the A string,
middle finger (2) on the 2nd fret on the D string, G string: open, index
finger (1) on the 1st fret of the B string, high E string: open (0). The
pinky is not used for this chord.

 Major and Minor open strings chords

In this section, you can learn major and minor chords played with
positions nearest the headstock. These chords often use open strings.

When you find a 0 written above a string, it means that you have to
play it without press any fret; if you find an X, then you have to mute
the string.

The diagrams show major chords with "maj", and minor chords with
"min". For example, C maj means C major chords, C min means C
minor chord.

 Dominant Seventh Chords

A dominant seventh chord is a major chord with a minor seventh

note added. It's a fundamental chord as it creates a sort of tension
that resolves naturally on the tonic, giving a feeling of conclusion to
the progression.

In diagrams, dominant chords are denoted with the number "7", for
example C7 is a C dominant chord.

 Movable chord shapes

The following diagrams are called "movable shapes" because you

can move them up or down the neck, without changing the
fingering, to get a different chord name but with the same type
(major, minor, dominant or other types).

With movable shapes we don't play any open strings.

If you memorize these fingerings, you'll be able to play almost any

chord, by placing the movable shape on the fret that corresponds to
the root of the chord you want to play.

In the diagrams, the root note of the chord is marked with a yellow
circle. For example, the movable shape of a dominant seventh chord
is denoted as shown below:

Dominant 7 shape

If you want to play a F7 chord, you have to move the root (the fret
inside the yellow circle) at the 8th fret of the A string, that is a F, as
shown in the second picture.

With the same logic, if you want to play a G7 chord, you have to
move the root at the 10th fret of the A string (indeed a G note), as
shown in the third picture.

For a given chord, we can have different shapes, depending on the

fret you want to be the root of your chord. The following diagrams
propose 3 shapes for each chord type.

Warning: in movable chord diagrams you will not find the name of
the chord, because it depends on where you place the shape on the
fretboard.
