hiiiiiiiiii i m newbie in chords can any one tell what below means and how to play it...... G - (355433) D5 - (x577xx) Em - (xx9987) o.k instead of "Em" if u play it like this "(x799xx)" It will still sound good as well. c5 - (x355xx) thanks in advance wating for ur reply...................................
So this is how it works. Example, G - (355433), the number is the fret at which you play and they are in relation to each of the 6 strings i.e E,A,D,G,B,E So now G-(355433) means you play: E string (the thickest one) @ 3rd fret A string @ 5th fret D string @ 5th fret G string @ 4th fret B string @ 3rd fret E (the last one,the thinnest) @ 3rd fret and those 'X' means you do not play that string, i.e the relevant string shouldnt make any sound.
See the order is as follows EADGBe 654321(6th being the thickest string) 355433(these r the fret numbers) Initially i'll advice you not to try barred chords. G chord that u mentioned here is a barred chord. it can be played in a much simple manner for beginners. Which is 320033. I am not good with the chord diagrams. So kindly search the forum you'll find everything.
