@noorav, if the arrangement needs to be that specific to exclude the B and E strings, the sheet music needs to provide some kind of tab or be notated on music staves. A simple C above melody notation isn't enough information, and there aren't chord names to make the distinction.

That would be what appears in a lead sheet for example, if the chord is written out properly in sheet music, just read the dots, and put them in the correct order. | |
| Dec 14, 2018 at 14:11 | comment | added | penguin99 | But if I get two different sounds for a chord named " C Major", shouldn't I also have two different names? I mean, in a certain musical piece, if we don't want the open B and E strings, so that it fits the melody, how would we differentiate it from a regular C chord, especially in sheet music? | |
