E m7 Chord on Mandolin
Play E m7 on Mandolin: diagrams, finger positions, intervals, and every voicing up and down the neck for this instrument.
The E m7 chord is a minor seventh — a smooth, mellow staple of jazz, soul, and funk. It is built from the notes E, G, B, D. This page shows how to play E m7 on Mandolin with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The lowest shape sits at fret 9 and spans 2 frets, with no open strings in it. E falls on the G string. It sounds from E4 up to D6.
Mandolin is strung in four courses of two, each pair tuned in unison, so each stopped note here sounds as two — which is why the shape rings thicker than the same grip on a single-strung instrument.
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.
