Dec 31, 2011 - I am not sure if anyone ever replied to this, but this code tells you what fret to place your finger on in the chord. The order goes from the 6th string to the 1st string. Xs stand for the string not being played at all. 0s mean that there is no finger on that chord. Hope that helps.

Dec 29, 2011 - its Am A minor its the chord look up basic chords on google the x means dont strum that string the 0 means strum the string all with your right hand and the 221 is your finger possition on the D G E strings .

Dec 28, 2011 - X02210 reperesents the finger positions for an A minor chord. The low E string is muted (represented by the X) The A string is played open The D string will be fretted at 2 (an E note) The G string will be fretted at 2 (a A note) The B string will be fretted at 1 (a C note) The high E string is played open. To mute a string, place a finger on it lightly so that it won't vibrate when struck. It's probably easiest to use your thumb. Anyway, look up "A minor chord."

Dec 25, 2011 - I'm as complete a beginner as they get. Just got a guitar not 10 minutes ago. Never before played one. How do you align your fingers so that the string doesn't stop vibrating? Like when I pluck the B string it just stop vibrating. I dunno if that made sense.

Dec 22, 2011 - it's what fret you're playing on each string. so the X means you don't play the first string then you play no fret on the second string (the 0) then you put your fingers on the second fret for the third and fourth string and you're playing the first fret on the fifth string and nothing on the sixth.

malmapunkrock Says:

Dec 21, 2011 - the X02210 is the position of your left hand fingers on the frettes.. x means you don't play that chord, 0 means you play that chord but without pressing any frettes then the numbers is the frette you have to put your fingers on. say 2 means you put your finger on the second frette starting from the far left. i'm still a begginer too just thought i'd try to explain it in my words maybe it helps.

Dec 19, 2011 - It's the 'tab' for the strings that you either not play (X), play open (0), hold down the string on the 2nd fret (2) or 1st fret (1). It goes from left to right, biggest string to smallest string. Good luck

DevosVictorr Says:

Nov 27, 2011 - its the short first string is X ( so dont play it ), second string is 0 so just play it without putting a finger on it, on thirth string you play a finger on the second fret, , fourth string the same, fifth string on the first fret, and the last string is also played without a finger

RazorTheSouljaBoy Says:

Nov 24, 2011 - If no one has told you yet, its the fret pattern, X=string not played 0=open string 2=fret number 2=fret number 1=fret number 0=open string The patter starts from the top string, the one closest to your chin. X02210 is just an Aminor chord.

Kl3tAS Says:

Nov 17, 2011 - Hey Megan. Is index finger on 4th and pinkie on 1st just personal preference or are there any disadvantages of using that method? (I use it)

FortKnite Says:

Nov 14, 2011 - X = string you don't play, the numbers = which fret you are on (eg. 0 is an "open" chord meaning one played without any finger on it.)
