Nothing. Line your first row up with the edge of the roof, then the second row line the bottom up with the crotch on the row below it. The second row should be offset from the first about 1/3 the length of the shingle, there is a little notch on the top that will help with this. Put nails in each end, then one about each crotch, about 3/4 to 1 inch above the crotch so it ends up in the tar strip. 4 nails per shingle is best in my opinion. no nails should be showing when done.
