Guitar Lessons - "e Major" Chord guitar tab

Sorry, but I am posting every one of my chord tabs back up because

I noticed something was wrong with each one of them. So just give

my tabs an ok, and you can have the correct versions of each one

on the site.

Just in case you are not familiar with tablatures, these six

lines represent the following strings on the guitar

|=high e

|=B

|=G

|=D

|=A

|=low E

Here is how to play an "E Major" chord. There are 3 ways to play it.

An "E" Chord is always composed of 3 different notes as long as

its major. E, Ab, and B. (b=flat)

1: The basic E Major Chord

|-0-|-->This is a high E note.

|-0-|-->This is a B note.

|-1-|-->This is the Ab note.

|-2-|-->Here is another E note.

|-2-|-->Here is another B note.

|-0-|-->This is yet another E note in the bass.

2: The E-string "E Major" Power Chord. This is one of the many

power chords commonly used in rock music. All E-string major

power chords use this same fingering, so it is important to remember

this fingering. It is also easy to play any power chord because

you will get used to holding your fingers like this. The common

E major chord is already shaped like a power chord, so in order

to make the E major power chord without leaving it exactly the

same as the standard E major chord, we bring it up an octave, to

the twelfth fret (moving forward or back 12 frets on the guitar

pushes you forward or backward 1 octave).

|-12-|-->This is a high E note.

|-12-|-->This is a B note.

|-13-|-->This is an Ab note.

|-14-|-->This is an E note.

|-14-|-->This is a B note.

|-12-|-->Here is the E found in the bass of the regular E major

chord, but 1 octave higher.

3: The A-string "E Major" Power Chord. Any A-string major power

chord has this fingering as well. That is why power chords are

so easy to play.

|-7-|-->This is the high B note.

|-9-|-->This is an Ab.

|-9-|-->Here is an E note.

|-9-|-->Here is a B note.

|-7-|-->And an E in the bass.

|-x-|-->Dont play this string.

These are the fundamental "E Major" chords in the guitar world.

You actually can take any combination of the notes E, Ab, and

B and make an "E Major" chord out of them. But to tell you the truth,

you will never find yourself using any other combination than

the ones shown here. So good luck, and practice the fingering

of these chords. After that they come naturally to you.
