How to Play E Flat Major Guitar Chords on the Low E String

Video Transcript

RYAN LARSON: So now, we're going to take a look at our first three chords as they fall in the E string, and we're really up there around the 11th fret. If you're on a classical guitar, you'd be right up at the top of your bridge, but that's all right. And our first chord is our major chord and it's 11, skip the next string, 11, 10, 10, 11. A very pretty chord and you can add a 13 in there too, so it's 11, 10, 10, 13, 10. But right now, we're just going to do that. Our minor chord is 11, 9, 11, 11 and our seventh chord is you bar and you play 9--or 11, 11, 12, 11. And we're going to show you those written down. And our first chord, I actually wrote down a different one. I wrote 11, 12, 13, 13, but we can play 11, 10, 10, 10, 11. And you can play 11 on the top string as well. And then our next chord was 11, 13--or no, this is written--oh, we wrote the seventh chord next and it's 11, 13, 11, 12, 11, 11 and our minor chord is 11, 9, 11, 11, 11, 11. And one thing you want to keep in mind is we're not using a pick, we are actually using fingers so you want to use your thumb on the low notes and you hit these notes like a one-handed clap. And we'll go over our next set of chords in just a minute.
