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 Classical Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The E, D and G strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 1 over a 3-fret stretch. The root is the E string itself. It sounds from E2 up to E4.
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.
