Guitar chord

E 7 chord E7

A seventh (dominant seventh) chord: a major chord with a seventh on top. It builds a tension that pulls toward the next chord: the sound of blues and rock 'n' roll.

Its notes: E, G♯, B, and D.

How to play it

  • index: fret 1, string 3
  • middle: fret 2, string 5
  • Open: strings 6, 4, 2, and 1

On the dots: 1 = index, 2 = middle, 3 = ring, 4 = little finger. Strings go from 6 (low E) to 1 (high E).

Easier

This is an open chord: some strings ring open and there is no barre. One of the first chords to learn.

Where it leads

A 7 chord pulls toward the chord a fifth below: A major (A). That is the move at the end of phrases, and all over the blues.
