E7 Guitar Chord

Today's Guitar Chord of The Day is E7 and we're trying out to different fingerings of E7 in open position. Our first E7 chord is an easy guitar chord to play. Start with an E major chord and remove your 3rd finger.

This lets the open D string ring.

E7 uses these notes: E, G#, B, D
7th chords use the notes from the major scale: 1, 3, 5, b7

Our second way of playing the E7 Guitar Chord in open position also starts with playing a regular E major chord. This time you add your little finger on the 3rd fret of the B string.
Here is the fingering for this chord.

Try using this chords in a Blues progression in A or E and tune back soon for another guitar chord of the day.
