4th fret
Intermediate● On the diagramC♯ 7th flat 5 is played at the 4th fret as × 4 5 4 6 ×: index finger on the A string at fret 4, ring finger on the D string at fret 5, middle finger on the G string at fret 4 and pinky finger on the B string at fret 6. The low E and high e strings stay muted.
Tip — The hardest part is stretching the pinky to the 6th fret on the B string while the index and middle fingers hold the 4th fret on the A and G strings.
