Legend
vertical lines = strings (thickest line represents low E)
horizontal lines = frets
numbers = fingering
1 = thumb
2 = index finger
3 = middle finger
4 = ring finger
5 = pinky
letters/numbers at bottom of chord diagrams = scale step of the chord
R = root note of the chord (also the note by which the chord is named after). For example, A major, B major, etc.
3 = 3rd scale step of the chord (e.g., if you were to play these chords in the A position, the "3" would represent a C# or C natural note)
4 = 4th scale step of the chord (e.g., if you were to play these chords in the A position, the "4" would represent a D note)
5 = 5th scale step of the chord (e.g., if you were to play these chords in the A position, the "5" would represent an E note)
7= 7th scale step of the chord (e.g., if you were to play these chords in the A position, the "7" would represent a G note)
O = open string (allow the string to sound from the nut)
X = muted string (do not allow the string to sound)
Red numbers = Root note of the chord. You can slide these chords (using your index finger as a barre across the neck) up or down the fretboard to play in any key. For example, positioning your index finger at the 5th fret will produce A chords (major, minor, dominant 7th sus 4, dominant 7th, and minor 7th).
