Boy o boy am I taking you on a journey today! We are going to break down the E chord. This is one of the most important chords to know for a lot of reasons. On the guitar the E chord is one of the easiest chords to play and it sits in a very accessible place singing wise for most male voices. So, easy chord, easy to sing and as a result LOTS of songs written on the guitar have the E chord. In addition we see this chord in key of B, good news is that isn't that common, but also we see it in the key of A, which again for similar reasons, is VERY common on the ukulele. So, if you are a beginner and you have all these lovely songs that you want to learn and play but the biggest road block is the E chord, it is not an easy chord to play, well this lesson is aimed directly at you. I am going to show you some work arounds, so you can play the E chord, without actually having to play the two awful E shapes that you may have tried to learn. In full honesty I really would prefer that you took the time to learn the E chord because in your progression through music you are going to need it, but, in the mean time, here is a tip so you can play some of your favorite songs before learning the chord.   

There are three times that you will diatonically use this chord, meaning there are three times that the E chord pops up naturally. The key of E as the I chord, the key of B as the IV chord and the key of A as the V chord. A is the easiest work around because all you need to do is play the E7, but that only works for the V chord, meaning we need to find a way to make the E chord easier in songs in the key of E and B, the answer? Tuning down a half step, because when you do that the F shape is actually an E chord, making life so much easier. Why don't we just jump into the tutorial and break it down.

Tyler, I always play in E. All my ukes have 19 frets so that the highest note is an E. I'm all about the E and that's because I play E as 1X02. That's a two finger chord. You fret the G string with the index finger and lean the index finger so that it mutes the C string, and then you fret the A string with the middle finger. It is so simple and once I learned that I made E my home base from which I compose

I play the 1-4-0-2 shape a lot because I love the open E string. It feels much lower than the 4-4-4-2 shape, but I never thought about just muting the C string and playing with two fingers. Very cool idea.

Hi Tyler! I was surprised you didn't mention the other E chord shape, 4-4-4-7. I generally play the D chord in the same shape, 2-2-2-5 because my fingers are little too fat to play the 2-2-2-0 shape easily. That also puts the E as the melody note, which might not be appropriate for a chord melody, but if you're just strumming, it's fine.
