These
diagrams show fingerings for the E shape. The same
voicings as an open E major but playable anywhere.
The roots on the 6th and 1st strings should be barred
with the first finger, but using the thumb on the 6th
string, and the first finger over strings 1 to 4, is also
very popular as simply removing the second finger
flattens the third, and removing the third finger
produces a dominant seventh. Hammering up to the
major-third with the second finger on the 3rd string is
as much a signature of this shape as the solid fifths on
the bottom two strings.
