Chords for Common Major Keys
Nut
1st Fret
2nd Fret
Since the chord chart only shows four frets, when you need to hold the strings
on higher frets, a little number will be beside the chord charts showing what
fret to start on. You can see an example on page 4. The chord C#m is a bar
chord at the 4th fret. Hence, there is a little ‘4th fret’ next to the second line.
Watch for the fret numbers.
There are two other symbols to note. When there is an ‘X’ above the Nut on
any string, don’t play that string. It doesn’t fit in the chord. In some chord
charts you may also see ‘O’. That means to play that string open. I’ve left
them out in this eBook, but that’s what it means and it’s often used in charts.
