how to play c chord on guitar
1 Place your second finger at the 9th fret of the 3rd string (G string). 2  This note is an E. 3  Place your 3rd and 4th fingers at the 10th fret, on the 4th and 5th strings, respectively. 4  Strum all the strings. Place your fourth finger at the 5th fret, on the 2nd (B string). 2  This is the high E note. 3  When you strum, don't play the bottom or top strings. 4  While they won't make your chord sound bad, they won't do much to make it sound good, either.
