    hope this helps

    ok..
    these r chord positions..ok?
    lets take the example of Em chord..it is>>

    0 2 2 0 0 0



    the BLUE 0 is the top most thickest E string which is to be played open..O means open..open bole to.. w/o pressing any fret

    the BLACK 2 is that on the A string that second from top u have to press 2nd fret..u know what fret means?? the blocks u may say

    the next DARK RED 2 means that on the D string thats third from top..u have to press second fret

    for the rest GRAY three 0s.. u have to play them all open..like i just told u!!


    and then just strum..tring...bingo u played Em..congrats! :p:

    (( basic idea is..the far right is the top thickest E string then the next on left is A (2nd from top) next on left is D ( 3rd string from top) next on left is G (4th from top) next is B ( 5th from top) last that is far right is E..bottom string!!
    if any number is written on this that means that..that particular fret has to be pressed!!....hope that has helped ya..temme if even that didnt ring any bell..phew
    !! )) :dance:

    tahda!!

    hey you started on the far right and finished on the far right by travelling left...
    while I firmly believe in the circularity of life I think your post needs some editing ;)

    SORRY...!!
    the last part>>

    the basic idea is the far left is top thickest E then the next on left is A (2nd from top) next on left is D ( 3rd string from top) next on left is G (4th from top) next is B ( 5th from top) last that is far right is E..bottom string!!

    if any number is written on this that means that..that particular fret has to be pressed

    hey vini...i understood wt u said but...from wt u say... i concluded tht..as a begginer wt v learned as E i.e 1st finger on 1st fret of D ,2nd finger on 2fret of B and 3rd finger on 5th string i.e on A on 2nd fret...so for any song if they have given as above v shudnt think of the original chords n play as the respective numbers n strings indicate....right? hope u got wt m i tryin to say!!!!!

    eh

    firstly 1st fret of D string is D#..yaar!!

    i seriously couldnt get ur quoted part^..ru talking abt Em chord above ..Em is second fret on A string and second fret of D string?? but yeah...this 022000 signifies a chord only..and when uL search for chords of a song they wont display like this..022000 ..u know,,they will simply tell u the chord name...

    hey u better start learning chords.. learn all majors and minors to begin with!!
    and remember..dont lose ur patience..else u wont be able to learn guitar..and if u have to ask further..thoda sa..clearly ask the question..u urself can get that above how much u have confused me..anywayz..all the best!!

    tahda!!

    002220

    middle finger on second fret of 4th string from top..then ur ring finger on second fret of 3rd string ..then ur last finger(pinky) on 5th string ..second fret!!


    try notepad...i hope then it wont get messed up..one more way to depict Amajor chord is

    E|--|- -|
    A|--|- -|
    D|--|-2-|
    G|--|-3-|
    B|--|-4-|
    E|--|- -|

    i have tried to make frets..the position is on 2nd fret..hope it stays the same..when i post...lol...now these 2 3 4 are ur finger names..
    1-index
    2-middle
    3-ring
    4-smallest/pinky
