it means you don’t play the bottom E string, you play an open A string, on the d and g string you have your finger on the second fret, on the b strong you have your finger on the first fret, and the high e string is open.

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 .

Thank you Megan.. this is very helpful xx

There the stings strings…
X=first string not playing (Low E string)
0=Open String (A string)
2=finger on second fret (D string)
2=finger on second fret (G string)
1-finger on first fret (High E string)
0=open string

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.

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.

that was very simple and helpful thank you ! doin a great work

its where you place your fingers the x means dont play that string or place your finger on it .the numbers 0,1,2 mean what fret to place your finger on

thank you!!!!!!!

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.

acoustic

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.)

Just a quick question. I recently starting teaching myself fingerstlyle guitar. I use my thumb for the bass notes, and the index finger for the other notes. I rarely use the other fingers, only when I have to pluck more than two strings at the same time. I just need to ask if its ok to do so? Or if I am just developing a bad habit?
