The C# Minor Chord
For the C# minor chord, the fingering is the same as the C minor chord - we just move it up 1 fret. The fingering for a C# minor chord is shown below:

So how do you go about fingering this? Take your first finger and lay it across the 1st 5 strings on the 4th fret. Now place your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers in the appropriate places according to the diagram. Try strumming it. It's OK if some notes don't ring. That's natural. In time, all the notes will ring loud and true. The important thing is that you've learned your C# minor chord. Good job!

Try playing the music example below, set your loop count to "Forever" in your preferences at the bottom of the page, hit the play button, wait for the music to start, and try to play along with the example. It'll help you become more comfortable with the chord.
