Top line is the A string. x = don’t play, 0 = open string.

Bright dots are the selected voicing — the rest are other places you can find the same chord tones.

Try 0331: the open G string is part of the chord, so you only need three fingers. The fuller 3331 barres the 3rd fret instead.

You’ll find E♭ in common progressions such as E♭–B♭–Cm–A♭ (the pop progression in E♭ major), E♭–A♭–B♭–A♭ (three-chord rock in E♭ major) and E♭–Cm–A♭–B♭ (the ’50s progression in E♭ major).
