The C♯m chord
A minor chord is a major chord with the 3rd lowered by one fret. That single note is what gives minor chords their darker sound.
Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
