Playing E-based Minor 7th Barre Chords


Minor 7th chords have a softer, jazzier, and more complex sound than its chord siblings do. You can form a minor 7th E-based barre chord by simply combining the actions you take to change major to minor and major to dominant 7th. In short, you only need to lift two fingers off a major barre chord and get a minor 7th chord.

Follow these steps:


1. Play an F major barre chord, See my previous about playing major barre chords based on E and learn how to play an F Major chord.


2. Remove your second finger from the 3rd string and your fourth finger from the 4th string.



Let's try it out by practicing the progression below:



Reminder: Say the names of the chords as you play them. Say them out loud so that you can never forget that you play Am7 at the fifth fret. :)
