Dots (tone (point)) and other symbols (like root (circle) and blues tone (X)) indicate where the string must be pressed. If these symbols are behind the nut, use the open string. For other keys than the one displayed, move the whole fingering according to the transposing table.

Interval numbers also indicate where the string must be pressed. If these numbers are behind the nut, use the open string (no fingering required). For other keys than the one displayed, move the whole fingering according to the transposing table.

What are arpeggios?

Arpeggio (italian from arpeggiare: to play the harp) or broken chord: The sounding of the notes of a chord in succession rather than simultaneously by breaking or spreading the chord tones one after another.

The guitar arpeggios are divided into different groups. They build on the arpeggios for major, dominant 7th, minor, minor 7th and diminished chords.

Further explanations of intervals are to be found in the interval theory section.
