E m7 Chord on Tenor Guitar
Play E m7 on Tenor Guitar: 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 Tenor Guitar with clear fretboard diagrams and suggested finger positions.
The G and D strings ring open in the lowest shape, with the remaining notes fretted at fret 2 over a 3-fret stretch. E falls on the C string. It sounds from E3 up to B4. 2 voicings are charted, the highest starting at fret 4.
It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
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.
