Answer 1

In a chord diagram, the highlighted part that represents the number 1 usually indicates the **nut**.

In guitar chord diagrams:

- **Open strings** are typically represented by circles above the corresponding lines.
- **Chord symbols** usually appear above or below the diagram.
- **Left-hand fingers** are indicated by numbers placed on the fret lines.

Therefore, in the context of your question, the highlighted part containing the number 1 represents the **nut**.
