0 = open string
1 = index finger
2 = middle finger
3 = ring finger
4 = little finger
The numbers in the black rhombus ( ) mean that this note is the root of
the chord, it's the chords name.
When you see numbers just below the strings, that means an alternate
way to put your fingers on the fretboard. Use the one that is best for you.
Important: Only the strings that have the above marks must be heard
when playing the chord. The rest of the strings are not played or
dampered by the left hand.
Except when you see the word "barre" under the strings (barre means that
one finger simultaneously presses down two or more strings) Then you
don't have to worry about that because all the strings have to be pressed
down anyway.
