I had a look around but couldn't find it, it's one of two chords in a song I'm hoping to learn called 'Horse With no Name', could anybody describe how to play it please? Much appreciated.

Hmm. Been years ssince I played that. Probably something like

---0--
---3--
---4--
---0--
---x--
---x--

I know it was some simple stuff around the open D chord

[Gothir]

I think I got it now, I 'believe' it's just E Minor, but you more the two fingers outward a string.

Thanks for your input.

See this site - they show three variations. However, they all look pretty complicated for a beginner.

Guitar Chords

According to the site, it needs the 1,3,5,6,9 to be fully produced. That's D, F#, A, B, high E.

Allthumbs looks good to me for beginners

---0-- (E)
---3-- (D)
---4-- (B)
---0-- (D)
---x--
---x--

Here's a variation on that with the F# and the A in it:
---0-- (E)
---3-- (D)
---4-- (B)
---4-- (F#)
---0-- (A)
---x--
