The next one is your E chord. You have a standard E chord, E/G# is going to be the one that you’ll see and that’s going to be more difficult for a beginner. It's even kind of difficult for me. I’m not an expert but because you have t cover the fourth fret up here, okay which is quite a stretch and make your E and then your pinky stretches up here to fourth fret. That’s your E/G# and don’t worry about that, yu wont see it very often. And then your E/B chord, okay—your E/B chord is an E chord, okay but it's an E chord but your base notes is just to the right of the slash. It has to be a B. so if you look at this E chord, your B note is actually on this A string second fret where that middle finger already is.
So to alter the base note, you cant strum that low E string, okay because that’s E base note. So you start the bottom five strings and that an E/B. it's your E chord altogether. We only take the low E string away and you just play the bottom five, that’s fifth strings and second fret where your middle finger is, it's a B note. Okay, so it's E/B.
The F chord, don’t worry a whole lot about it. there’s a diagram and you can check out on this link if you like it and the G chords, the main what your going to see with the G, is like a G/B. All that means is you have your G chord and you need a five—B base note just like we did earlier with the E chord, the B base note second fret on the A string. It's not wanted, we’re in the same place, when you play your G chord. It's a G, if we need a G chord with a slash, B on the right means B base note and when you find the B note, okay. The B note is right where the pointer finger is, second fret. It's the same place it was on the E, second fret of the A string. So what you do is you play your G, is all six strings if you don’t play that low E, take it away and just strum the bottom five. That is a G/B. it's a G chord of your base note that B note right here.
