G m(add9) — Charango

G m(add9) stacks G – A – Bb – D. Each chart below places those tones on the Charango's GCEAE courses and names the fret and finger holding each one — tap a chart to hear it.

Five courses is a wide hand for a raked stroke, and that reach is the style: a charango almost never holds a chord and waits — a rasgueo rakes the whole shape in one direction, then the other, and the chord becomes a rhythm before it becomes a sustained sound. A voicing here is a shape the strumming hand crosses, not a note it lingers on.

Voicings are computed for this tuning by the shared voicing generator, not borrowed from another instrument; traditional technique may still use idiomatic shapes not charted here.

Then rake it: a downstroke crosses all five courses on the strong beat, an upstroke answers on the weak one, and the pattern loops until the whole hand stops thinking about which course it is touching. On this instrument a chord you can only hold is a chord you have not started strumming yet.
