The diagrams often differentiate in some ways. Here are a couple of ways. * Sometimes the diagrams will contain an X within it's "lattice". These represent the frets and strings at which to place your fingers. * Occasionally you may see x's within the lattice that represent finger placement. * They may be vertical-style (fretboard perpendicular to floor) or horizontal-style (fretboard parallel to floor). Many people prefer horizontal-style because it is similar to tablature. Here is a good text-based explanation of how a chord diagram works.

  • The diagrams often differentiate in some ways. Here are a couple of ways. * Sometimes the diagrams will contain an X within it's "lattice".

Many people prefer horizontal-style because it is similar to tablature. Here is a good text-based explanation of how a chord diagram works. Example 1 (D) x x o =========== | | | | | | *Notice how this chord diagram uses X's to indicate both where to place your fingers, ----------- And where to place your fingers. | | | X | X ----------- | | | | X | ----------- | | | | | | 1 2 3 4 5 6 <-- This part which shows the string numbers and letters is never included in a chord E A D G B e diagram. The Capital E is your thickest string, and the lowercase e is your thinnest. As stated before, some chord diagrams are horizontal in nature. Here is an example. (D) e||---|(3)|---|---| <---Thinnest String B||---|---|(2)|---| G||---|(1)|---|---| *Notice how this diagram tells you which fingers to put on which strings. It D||---|---|---|---| is horizontal in nature - making it similar to tablature in some respects. A||---|---|---|---| E||---|---|---|---| <---Thickest String These may be tricky at first but eventually it's like reading this very text.
