This lesson covers how to play Nocturne Opus 9, No. 2 by Frederic Chopin including chord charts and sheet music with guitar tabs. This is a beautiful classical guitar piece ideal for intermediate to advanced level guitarists. Grab your guitar and let’s get started!
How to read the chord charts
For the charts below:
- The top horizontal line of the chord chart represents the high E string and the bottom horizontal line represents the low E string.
- The vertical lines separate each fret.
- The numbers in the blue dots tell you which fingers to use on the fretting hand.
- The letters on the right of the charts tell you what notes you are playing on each string.
- Circles on the left represent open strings.
- Red X means to avoid that string.
