3.2.4 Guitar Chord Grid

3.2.4 Guitar Chord Grid

A guitar chord grid representation is of a chord sequence shown in Figure 3.44. The chord grid corresponds to the guitar fret board. The vertical lines represent the six strings and the horizontal lines represent the frets. A black dot represents a place on the fret board where you should put one of your fingers. When all your fingers are in the indicated locations, you can strum the strings to play the chord. Keep in mind that the chord grid shows you one way to play the chord, but there are always other fingering combinations that result in the same chord. If the grid you’re looking at looks too hard to play, you might be able to find a grid showing an alternate fingering that is easier.
