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, B#, D. This page shows how to play E m7#5 on Mandocello with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.

The shape nearest the nut leaves the G and D courses open and takes the rest at fret 3, reaching across 2 frets. E falls on the C course. It sounds from E2 up to B#3.

Mandocello is strung in four courses of two, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
