Root 6th chords are formed from the open E-major form. This chord is simple to remember and easy to finger. The name is derived from the bass note of the 6th string. The low E string and the high E string are both played in th open position.

The chord is further formed by the midle finger being placed on the 3rd string at the first fret and the ring finger placed on the 5th string at the second fret.

And finally the pinky is placed on the 4th string at the second fret. See the form below.

Now practice the form up and down the neck of the instrument. Always keeping in-mind the bass notes of the string that names the chord.

As you acquaint yourself with this form, it will prepare you for other forms that it will be combined with, to produce music.

There's a certain amount of versatility through moving from the open position.

Chords can be formed in several locations if fingering is difficult in other chord forms. Guitar root 5 chords
