    Six lines, six strings

    Look at the guitar neck upright. The thick low E string is on the left; the thin high E is on the right. Horizontal lines are frets.

    The numbers are fingers

    1 index · 2 middle · 3 ring · 4 little finger. Press just behind the fret, rather than on the metal.

    Open, muted, or barred

    ○ Play the string without pressing it. × Don’t play it. A thick rounded bar means one finger holds several strings.
