How to read a guitar chord diagram
The diagram shows the guitar neck from the front. The six vertical lines are the strings, with the lowest-pitched string (low E) on the left and the highest-pitched string (high e) on the right. The horizontal lines are the frets.
A thick bar at the top of the diagram is the nut (the zero fret). If the chord is played higher on the neck, a number appears to the left of the diagram showing which fret the diagram starts from.
Filled dots show where to place your fingers. O above a string means it is played open (not fretted). X means the string is muted and should not ring. A bar spanning multiple strings is a barre chord.

Frequently asked questions
What does "barre chord" mean?
A barre chord uses one finger (usually the index) to press down all six strings across one fret, acting as a moveable nut. This lets you play the same chord shape at any fret, producing a different key each time.
How do I play F chord on guitar?
The full F barre chord bars all six strings at the 1st fret with the index finger, then adds the ring finger on the A string at the 3rd fret, the pinky on the D string at the 3rd fret, and the middle finger on the G string at the 2nd fret. A common beginner shortcut is the mini-F: barre only strings 1 and 2 at the first fret and add the other fingers normally.
What is the easiest key for guitar?
G major, D major, and C major are the easiest keys because most chords in those keys can be played as open chord shapes (no barre required). A minor is also beginner-friendly for the same reason.
