E 6sus2 Chord on Classical Guitar

Play E 6sus2 on Classical Guitar: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.

The E 6sus2 chord is a suspended chord that swaps the third for a second or fourth, leaving the harmony open and unresolved. It is built from the notes E, F#, B, C#. This page shows how to play E 6sus2 on Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The shape nearest the nut leaves the E string open and takes the rest at fret 2. The G string stays silent, so 5 of 6 sound. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from E2 up to F#4.

It has nylon strings on a wider, flatter neck than a steel-string guitar, which is why it is played fingerstyle rather than with a pick.

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.
