Re: the little numbers next to chords?!!?

A normal chord with no number next to it has the 1st 3rd and 5th notes of the scale to which it relates. A number next to the chord indicates that you play that number note of the scale too. e.g. a C7 has the 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th notes of the C major scale in it. The C chord only has the 1st, 3rd and 5th.

thanks but thats not what I meant. I meant when it has the drawing of the chord (the strings with dots on) there is a number next to some chords... help?!

Re: the little numbers next to chords?!!?

Yes. The number corresponds to the fret.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??
