-
B7 Chord: 4 Mins This chord is not very similar to our B Major chord, except for the root note, but it allows us to play a B chord in open position. It moves fairly fluidly to an E Major, which is our I chord in the Key of E, making it ideal as the V chord for this particular key.
-
Major & Minor Barre Chords on the A String: 4 Mins Same as above, but with the root note on the A string.
