The C/E Chord

 

The C/E Chord

The C/E chord is the first inversion of a C major chord. The C/E chord contains the 2nd fret of the 4th string (E), the open 3rd string (G), the 1st fret of the 2nd string (C), and the open 1st string (E). The notes in our C/E chord are the same as our C major chord (C, E, and G), but with the E as the lowest note.

How to Play the C/E Chord

  1. Place your 2nd finger on the 2nd fret of the 4th string.

  2. Place your 1st finger on the 1st fret of the 2nd string.
