The A and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2 over a 2-fret stretch. Both E strings stay silent, so 4 of 6 sound. The root is the D string itself. It sounds from A2 up to D4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 5.
It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.
