Playing Versions 5 & 6 of a E Chord on Guitar

Video Transcript

Hi, this is Joe Wiles with the Rock and Roll Conservatory on behalf of Expert Village. We've talked about the first four versions of the E major chord and now we're going to talk about the last one. Where we left off was playing an A chord form on the seventh fret. Now, if we apply the CAGED sequence and the CAGED rules, the rules of the CAGED method we're going to fret, we're going to barre the highest fret that we're currently fretting. In this case it's the ninth fret. Go ahead and barre that. Play a G chord form around that. This is the fifth and final version of an E major chord form. All five in review go like this; E major with an E chord form. D major, excuse me, E major with the D chord form. We're not going to barre the fifth fret. We're going to lose a fret because we're going from the D form to the C form. This is the third version of an E chord, the C chord form. Then we barre the seventh fret. Play the A chord form. Then the last version on the ninth fret. Barre it. Play the G chord form. And those are the five versions of an E major chord. In the next segment we're going to talk about the five versions of a D chord. I'll see you there.
