Hey ddiddler --

Along the top of the screen is the guitar neck.

The numbers across the top, horiztonally, are the Fret numbers: 1, 2, 3, etc.

The numbers on the fret board (in the white and red circles) are the finger you use.

1 = Index

2 = Middle

3 = Ring

4 - Pinky

When a note is WHITE, that just means it's part of the chord. When a note is RED that means it's a Root Note of the chord. If you're playing any type of C Chord, the root note is C. A chord = root note is A. Etc.

In the C major chord you'll notice there are TWO Cs in different octaves (on different strings). It's just helping you identify some of the root notes notes along with the chord names.

Does that help?

-Carl.
