I like to bring my thumb over the top of the neck to mute the Low E and A strings so that I don’t accidentally play them and so that I don’t have to think as hard about my strumming hand. Only the D, G, B and High E strings are strummed when strumming this chord. Placing your 4 th finger (pinky) in the 4 th fret of the B string.Placing your 3 rd finger (ring finger) in the 4 th fret of the G string.Placing your 2 nd finger (middle finger) in the 4 th fret of the D string.Placing your 1 st finger (index finger) in the 2 nd fret of the High E string.
This first variation of the open B chord isn’t really an open chord – but it’s close to that open position on the fretboard. But you can play B in the open position without using a barre chord. B is usually played as a barre chord (see variation 3 below) as the go-to for most people. Most people don’t typically play an open B. To clarify: When I say “B”, I mean B major. Learning how to play the same chord in different ways and around different parts of the fretboard is a great way to add to your repertoire and can really help you to change the flavor of a song, help to add some uniqueness when writing songs and gives you some options when improvising. There are many ways to play the B chord on guitar.
