The chord diagram shows the neck of the guitar seen from the front as if you held your guitar in front of you. The bass string (the low E string) is seen on the left. If you look closely, you’ll see that the lower strings are thicker. The frets are symbolized by squares. The colored circles tell you where to place your fingers. They are numbered to specify the position of each of your fingers. From 1 for the index, 2 for your middle finger, 3 for your ring finger, and 4 for your pinky. A cross over a rope indicated that it should not be played and a circle indicates that you have to play the open string without fretting a square.
