0 t--- 0 s indicate an open string.

+ A barre (pronounced like "bar")

Dots are t h e left-hand d fingerings.
3 4 1

is shown when a finger holds down t w o o r more s t r i n g s a t t h e same time.

Numbers below t h e strings tell you which finger t o use on t h a t string.

NOTE: Fret numbers ("5fr") may appear t o t h e r i g h t o f t h e f i r s t f r e t on some chord

diagrams. This t e l l s you t o slide your hand up t o t h e appropriate fret, position your fingers and s t r u m away. If no f r e t number i s shown (or you see a thick t o p line on t h e diagram), your hand should be around f r e t 1, near t h e nut.
