Beginner● On the diagramF♯ 7th sharp 5 is played in open position as 2 1 0 3 3 0: middle finger on the low E string at fret 2, index finger on the A string at fret 1, ring finger on the G string at fret 3 and pinky finger on the B string at fret 3. The D and high e strings ring open.
Tip — The pinky must fret the 2nd string at fret 3 while the ring finger holds fret 3 on the 3rd string, requiring a compact stretch.
