How to read a chord diagram
- Vertical lines are the strings, from the lowest (left) to the highest (right).
- Horizontal lines are the frets. A thick bar at the top is the nut; otherwise the number beside the diagram is the starting fret.
- Dots show where to press, and the numbers inside are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky.
- A long bar across several strings is a barre: press them all with one finger.
Which chords should beginners learn first?
On guitar, start with the open chords C, G, D, A, E, Am, Em and Dm: they cover thousands of songs. On ukulele, C, G, Am and F are the classic first four. On piano, learn the major and minor triads in every key.
