Lemme show ya something...

A handy way of chord notation...

320003

That's a "G" chord...

022000

That's "Em"

000000

That's just an open strum... (I used to know what 'chord' that was, but I've forgotten)

So, from the top (Bass) strings down, use numbers to tell us where you're fretting the string...

and it works the same with a capo on... just count frets relative to the caop...

That make any sense at all???
