Interval formula
| Degree | Note | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | D♯ | root |
| 9 | F | ninth |
| 3 | G | major third |
| 5 | A♯ | perfect fifth |
The formula reads in semitones above the root (D♯): 1, 9, 3, 5. A voicing may leave a tone out — often the fifth — but never adds one from outside this set.

Read a diagram top-down: the thick bar is the nut, dots are where to press (the number is which finger), means play the open string, means don't play it. A bar across strings is a barre.
