Just follow the section on the far right and remember that the string tuned to B is your 3rd in a chord. So frets that have all notes fretted are 1-5-1 and you can fret that other string to add the 3rd.

I made this chart for another member. The strings are in a different order, but it works if you switch them.

Hi, Ray .    As a old player of CBGs and guitar , knowing "my" limitations, I would use the four smallest strings out of a six string set.    Which in standard tuning ,on a six string, are tuned to  D G B E .    Which are the same notes the baritone ukulele are tuned to . (the ukulele's notes are higher ,but the same notes)       Then it can be played like a six string ,minus the two bass strings.... or..... like a baritone ukulele.    That opens up all the resources for standard guitar and baritone ukulele .     D G B E  strings can also be tuned to  open tunings used on a six string, minus the two bass strings.       Again , this is "what I would do" .           Best of luck learning your four string, whatever route you take .   You are in for a lot of fun !
