Reading the diagrams
The string labels show the orientation of each chord box. Open circles mark strings played without fretting; crosses mark strings to leave out. Numbers beside the grid identify the frets.
Practice ideas
For a simple chord change, try A major and D major, or A minor and E major. Form each shape, check the intended strings, then alternate slowly for one minute.
Power chords and barre chords give you movable shapes. Alternate tunings offer different sounds for particular songs; choose the tuning before using a chart.
