Begin choosing the building blocks of your chord in the Chord Label window of the Guitar Chord dialog. The fret diagram Library will try to match the chord you are building. If found, the fretboard fingering pattern will appear in the window to the right.There may be more than one fingering configuration. Moving the slider down will reveal more diagrams if there are any.
