E m7#5 Chord on Cello
Play E m7#5 on Cello: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The E m7#5 chord is a minor seventh with a raised fifth, an altered, unstable color. It is built from the notes E, G, C, D. This page shows how to play E m7#5 on Cello with clear fingerboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The G and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes stopped in position 3 over a 2-position stretch. E falls on the C string. It sounds from E2 up to C4.
Cello is bowed, with a bare fingerboard and no fixed stops, so this is really a double-stop study: two strings at a time speak cleanly, and the full stack is rolled rather than sounded at once.
Browse alternate voicings to find the one that sits best under your fingers, then compare it with the other chord types built on E or explore the same shape in nearby keys. The diagrams list the notes in each voicing so you can connect the shape to the theory behind it.
