Thanks Matt!!!

When first faced with the numbering chords system it is easy to misunderstand the numbers as applying to the fingers used--IT DOESN'T.

The numbers signify the fret at which the 6 strings are stopped (top/low-E to bottom/high-E. For instance, the G that we have all come to know and love is indicated as 320003 and his brother the C chord is X32010.

In this manner you can determine the most comfortable or useful fingering to use.
