 E Chord Guitar Variations - II

Guitar chord chart


E Chord is always a special chord for every guitarist or learner. Also, many people start guitar learning from E Chord.

I have already covered E major, E minor, E Augmented chord, Edim chord (E Diminished Chord), Esus2 chord (E Suspended) and Esus4 guitar chords in my previous lesson E Chord Guitar Variation. Please check the previous lesson to get all mentioned chord detail as all those E chord patterns are the basic E chord pattern we are going to cover in this lesson.

This lesson will talk about E7 Chord, E major 7 chord, E minor 7 Chord, E Dim 7 chord (Diminished), E add 6 and E add 9 chords.

All these chords hold the same importance as these E chord patterns are very frequently used in the chord progression and melody.
