Easy, lay your index across the entire first fret. use your second finger for the note on the second fret, and use your third finger to either hold down one of the two 3rd frets, or both. Use your pinky for the other if you need to.

I'm not really a guitar guy altough I did just buy <a href="http://www.emmzee.com/pictures/Guitar/" target="_blank">my own guitar</a> to hack 'round with :D

Basically I would just play:

|-----|
|-----|
|-----|
|--3--|
|--3--|
|--1--|

I use my index finger on the 1st fret, then drape my ring finger over the 3rd fret to cover the 2nd and 3rd strings. Probably not the best way to do it but it works well 'nuff for my purposes. :)

OMG, I just realized you have the EXACT same guitar as me. Ibanez GiO, but mines red, I replaced the nut, and have thicker strngs on it.

Yahoo, I can play it. It only takes me 20 seconds to get my fingers right....

Nice guitars-
I'm using a Yamaha FD01S [Acoustic]
