The E m9 chord is a minor extended chord that stacks higher tensions over a minor-seventh foundation. It is built from the notes E, F#, G, B, D. This page shows how to play E m9 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 6 over a 2-fret stretch. E falls on the A string. It sounds from F#3 up to E5.

It has a flat wooden top, so the same grip sustains far longer than it does on a tenor banjo.
