In this video we’re talking about the E major chord. The E chord or E major is an open chord. It’s another very common chord, and let’s hear how it sounds, very happy sounding chord. Here’s the minor, E minor. All right, it’s got that sad sound. And there’s our E major. So let’s break down the fingering here. The first thing that you can do is take the second finger and the third finger and think of them as touching each other, that can be helpful for making the chord sound good. We usually start with the second finger on the fifth string second fret. Then we put the third finger on the next string, the fourth string. And put that also on the second fret. And then the last thing you need to do is take the pointer finger and you can add that to the third string first fret. And again, these two fingers, if they’re touching each other, tends to make it a little bit easier. There’s a lot of open strings in this chord. The sixth string, second string and the first string are all open. So you’re strumming all six strings for this one. And with all chords we have various ways of playing it such as barre chords and power chords. And you can learn how to play those in the chord book.
