Beginner Chords- Moveable Forms

The circles indicate finger positions. The numbers indicate the preferred finger for playing the note. Fingers are numbered 1 for the index finger through 4 for the pinkie. The thumb is a T.

If a string in not to be played, it is a white line.

The root of the chord is shown in yellow. Whatever note that root position is one, that's the name of the chord. For example, the first chord shown (upper left) is a Major with the root on the first string (as well as in two other places). If you play this chord at the third fret, that note will be a G so it's a G Major chord.
