in a guitar chord book how do you know what fret to use?

Question

if it helps i use Hal Leonard incredible Chord finder second edition

wel it probly says where the frets are just i dont know where like at the top it will say like D6 or D9+5

Answer 1

there will be a number next to the chord. If there is a 3 then you know to bar the 3rd fret. Hey try this website www.chordie.com it has thousands upon thousands of songs with finger positions for chords. have fun

Answer 2

If I understand your question, if you have the correct finger placement of the chord you can use any fret you like, and still be playing the chord only in a different key. Take the E minor chord which would be 0-2-2-1-0-0 if you use the 3rd fret but keep your fingers the same 3-5-5-4-3-3 you now have A. Its called a Bar Chord.

Answer 3

By the number. If it says 1 on E that means first fret on the E string.

Answer 4

Use the frets at the top of the neck,unless you`re using a capo.

Answer 5

It says what fret to use, if it doesn't specify, start at the first fret.

Answer 6

is there a roman numeral sign? for example IV means 4th fret and so on.

Answer 7

Do yourslef a favor, don't pick up another guitar.
