You're Playing the E Chord Wrong

[@MariUSukulele]

Christopher, you are such an articulate speaker... makes it a joy to listen to you! What a gift; especially for a teacher.

[@ultimateukulele3586]

Again, fantastic content, and another brutal video title 😂

[@andreasohn2738]

yes, and especially for me as a non-English-speaker!

[@GuitarguyRichard56]

You are a very talented teacher. Thanks

[@theresarivest567]

Love the muted C string on the E7 chord option especially for proximity purposes

[@CharlesWickerAVA]

Because your viewing public is all along the uku spectrum, the way you start with simplicity then work up to meatier variations displays a teaching method that resonates. All your stuff is stellar. Thanks

Somewhere along my guitar journey as a teenager I learned to get that 3-string bar with the pad of my ring finger for the "A major" shape (D on the uke), and that allowed me to bar that chord shape and move it around the neck. That can get kinda crampy on guitar, but on uke it's a much easier shape because the only other string to fret is the A string, which is pretty easy for the index finger to grab. This means I can move that whole shape around without having to mute that high string.

I love your way of teaching approach it is a beautiful point of wieuv from where I see.

[@ilaimpress]

This tip is positively brilliant and will take my playing to the next level. Thank you.

[@hopemorales5600]

Thank you great advise.

[@neverstoplearning2]

Thanks so much. This is the first time I have been to your channel, but I subscribed so I'll be back. I appreciated this video not only for what you taught about the dreaded E chord, but because I now understand a little more music theory. Thanks again!

[@andivelorezwhite]

Yes, yes, yes!! It is easy!! I thank you and my pinkie thanks you! Your presentation of this is perfect.

[@Laurynn125]

I love you for this! 😁

[@Lippy99]

What a thoughtful and succinct Explanation. Thank you.

[@barbaraowen3259]

This is brilliant! I understand so much more now and will enjoy using these, and experimenting with other difficult chords too. Thank you so much!

[@davidd5882]

Great breakdown of the E.

[@rebeccatannermusic]

Excellent advice and variations! Thanks!

[@sarinasalim2494]

I was following until the variations 😊 a few more viewings I think but thank you for the clever tip. E is (was!) one of my dreaded chords to play.

[@heatherjensen2020]

Saw your vid on reddit. Life changer! Thank you for this video!

[@elfisings4u]

Thank you so much for this!! I'm going to tell all my ukulele pals on Instagram about this amazing video because we collectively dread that dang E-chord - woohoo!

[@Barbara-T]

Brilliant lesson!

[@grantryder5463]

Thank you for your advice!

[@miniagarwal2296]

Thank you so much for this alternative! It's made life easy suddenly :) Wish you would help with the B, Bb and C#m chords as well.

[@dagmarrichter490]

Awwww, thank you so much for this!!!!!

[@McConium]

Fun! Thanks for this! There is no reason to avoid playing songs with E. Excellent work.

[@sherlynn7211]

[@sherlynn7211]

@@Banjoleletinman LOL :)

[@bogga56]

I would really like to know where this comes from? The thougts behind it.

[@aswantek]

I wish you were around 40 years ago when I first started on guitar/uke....

[@pennyyoung2291]

Wow!

[@ParkerJacobs-iw8yn]

THAT'S WHAT I DO! And I'm a musical idiot! Thank you!

[@marquinho1p]

🔥🔥🔥💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

[@morethanwords]

Yeah, the traditional E chord fingering is a bitch especially for beginners. Barring at the 4th fret and ring or pinkie on the 7th fret has a much nicer sound and easy to play. Slide the finger on the A string down to the 5th fret and that's an easy E7.

[@tortfeasor99]

GREAT NOW YOU TELL ME

[@mrsilence]

Great explanation, but doesn't you mom get mad when you write on the wall?

[@GioxSinger]

Ok. I just fell in love with you

[@colwarsstudiobrickfilmandm8580]

Whos here from reddit?

[@davyalias2987]
