How To Play E7 Chord

Hi , I'm Russell .

Welcome to video jug .

I'm gonna show you today how to play the chord of E seven .

So let's just recap .

First of all , remembering the names of the strings , we're gonna be playing an E seven .

The guitar is tuned in E .

So remember bottom string , E ad GB , top E OK , let's get back to the chord of E first .

So remember the first finger came in here to the first threat on the G string , second finger up here on the A string , second fret and the third finger here on the D string and the uh second fret also .

So this is an e the good thing about E is the guitar , as I said earlier is already tuned in E so we can play every single string , all six of them .

Now to play the seven .

Very easy .

Just pull off the third finger .

Listen to the difference .

E listen to the blue note .

Yeah .

Are you here ?

So let's just hear it in context .

I'm gonna play a small rhythm just to normal A A seven again , E seven .

Now there's another way to accentuate the seven .

I'm playing it at the moment here by lifting off the third finger and the D strings playing that seven .

Listen out for it .

But we can also play it an octave higher .

We're gonna play it with a little finger .

The mini up here on the B string on the next fret down .

So it'll be on the third fret .

OK .

So here the difference E to E seven one more time .

So we got in , he's seven .

Then let's build that into a progression .

It's the most classic of all E to A but we're gonna go ee seven A A seven .

Let's just recap on those E third finger off .

E 74 little finger on a banana splits a seven and then we get the pulse in your head .

Play along with me if you can , we've got 123 and E little finger E seven .

Now we're gonna go to the A , a seven middle finger off and I'm gonna shut my mouth and you can hear it .

So , so keep practicing and have fun .

I'll see you next time .
