Have you tried using the thumb over the top to barre...? Thumb is widely used over the top by guitar players and it works perfectly well for 'e' and 'd' chords on the uke. Frowned upon by purists I'm sure but give it a try, you might find that it works and brings all the songs back to you that feature this awkward chord shape.
When learning C, G, F and Am I thought I could never remember these..few weeks later my fingers go automatically without even looking at the ukelele :-) Im now going to learn this E chord which kept me back from so many great songs!
+Chazline That was me and the Bm chord when I first started guitar 😀. I completely understand. I hope this helps, and let me know which option was your favorite.
i tried the way with fingers 2,3,4 on the 4th fret and finger 1 on the 2nd, which i kinda like but it was a little awkward. Then i tried fingers 1,2,3 on the 4th fret and muting the A with my pinky which was working well - then i noticed that when i reach over like that, my first finger can easily rest on the A string and mute it that way without using my little finger. I'll have to test it out in a song!
As an 83 yr.old beginner I finally found someone who can show me the 'dreaded' E chord..have practiced all five of them and feel a BIT confident to choose one that I can play...thanks ..be looking for more of your tips..
2 years later and I absolutely feeeel thisss 😂😂 so many songs I’ve wanted to learn just to see an e chord and change my mind!! the fourth way feels the most comfortable to me!!
Hi Everyone :). You're going to need this mini tutorial for tomorrow's video. I know a bunch of you struggle with the E chord, so here are 5 options to help you out. Also, this was a requested video, so let me know what else you would like to see more variations of the E chord.
Excelland, Katie! I always liked option #2...What's behind door #2? Option #1 is good for me too. Yea!!! I won't have to play this chord with my toes, anymore!....:)
+Nico Ohana I'm so glad this helped. I know the way that I play it isn't everyone's favorite, so I'm happy that this can help you 😸. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the tips (and all your other great videos)! I’ve used Option 3 but find it challenging to switch. The song I’m playing steps down from E to E7. So I’ve started playing E like an E7 and muting the C string since I have the open E string. It’s not as full a sound, but it gets the job done and is faster to change to and from.
i play E7 instead and it works 90% of the time. and there are songs where E chord is E chord, that's why i am here :)) thanks for your video. i find it useful!
I have been struggling with this Elephant chord for almost one month.It really needs practice. Sometimes it listens but sometimes it doesn't.And also thank you Miss Katie for your tutorial at least I can find options for this Elephant chord.
Thanks Katie, I have been hiding from the E chord for too long... LOL. I have learned all five of these fingerings, I like #5 a lot. I will be devoting a portion of my practice time each day to get this chord, (in all it's forms), "under my fingers". The transition to and from other chords is now my biggest obstacle, but I know time and practice will take care of that for me. Thanks again for a thoughtfully prepared tutorial on the subject.
I think you are an AWSOME teacher Katie! I’m an Ukelele beginner and my comment is I don’t know where to find videos of yours that cover the basic Cords and how to place one’s fingers (except for your bar code video) do I need to organize a private lesson? Or am I missing it somewhere? I do see your guitar cord videos, are those the same for Ukelele? Or as it’s a tinier instrument, is there a way you would recommend to place fingers differently than from a guitar? Mahalo ✨Alessandra
I'm so happy that this video helped you. I know that many of my students have troubles with the E chord, so you're not alone. Thanks for watching, and have a great day 😊.
Hello Katie thanks . One more and maybe the easy'est one. You can bar 4th fret totaly an with youre pinky on the, 7th bottom string. Because you have also an option to make a E sus2 by putting youre middlefinger extra on the 5th fret second string . Ore make that same E chord and with youre pinky press now string 1 and two 2 on 7th fret. And if you leave youre pinky but hold that bar all second frets,you get a C#m7 chord wich are also very common if you playing in E. Hope my Englisch is oke. Greetings from Holland
Hey Katie! Thank you so much for the tutorial on the E chord. I've been working on my own variation of the first way you showed to play where I use my second finger rather than the third finger because it was more flexible. I think I will try the ring finger again. How blessed I am to have people like you helping me to learn. Pam - AKA ukulelegranny
Hi Pam! Thanks for watching, and I'm so happy that this helped you :). It's so great to see you in the comments. I hope this helps you on your way to be able to play the Tom Petty song. Thank you for reflecting the grace and love of God.
Thanks for this! Probably my most practiced chors. I use option 2 majority of the time and when there's adjacent Esus4 chords. Option 3 I use for when it calls for an E/G#. For when I'm lazy or get caught "off guard" by the E chord I just do the C chord moved up 4 frets lol. That seems to be easiest imo. xD
The dreaded E Chord has been a challenge for me. I finally have gotton comfortable using option number 3. Having large fingers, I find options 1 and 2 harder, but having played guitar for some years, I am getting better a playing them and finding the right E chord depending on the song I am playing.
YEAH! Another member of the family :). Thank you so much for watching. The ukulele that I'm using is from a company called Sun Star, and I'll link them below. I'm actually going to be doing a giveaway soon of a Sun Start ukulele, so stay tuned :). Have a great day! sunstarmusic.com/
the problem I see with the 4th version is that because a string is muted the sound is a bit thinner and might stand out if played in between richer sounding chords that make use of all 4 strings like C or G... That might just be my impression, though 🤔 What do you think?
Hi and thanks for watching. I think you just have to try a few voicing a to see which one will best suit the piece. Not all voicings will be appropriate, but at least there are options 😀.
Hi and thanks for watching. I already made a tutorial for that song for both guitar and ukulele. I also have a twentyonepilots playlist. I'll link them all below.

I just can't get any of these to work T_T the most possible one is #2 for me but I can't get my first finger to press down while the other three are down without it sounding muted. One finger always slides of no matter in which position I try it, it's so frustrating
Sorry to hear that. I completely understand where you’re coming from. I’ve had a couple of students use the E7 chord but just muted the 3rd string with their middle finger. I might have a couple more solutions for you. If number two works the best, try the same idea but with finger 1 on the 4th string, finger 2 on the 3rd string, and finger 3 on the 2nd string. Use finger 4 to just touch the 1st string to mute it. Another solution is one from my “Don’t Stop Believing” tutorial. It also uses a smaller version of the E. I’ll link it below. Most of all, don’t give up. It may take some time, but know you can do it 😀. ruclips.net/video/QiEA_BVdT0Y/видео.html
@@OneMusicSchool Thank you so much for your answer! The version with the muted string worked for me and I'm so happy right now! Now I can finally move forward and try to learn one of my favorite songs
In my opinion you missed the easiest one of the lot. Let me show you how to build it. First play a D7 with your index finger as a Barre all the way across the 2nd fret, Next take your 2nd finger and place it on the 3rd fret, string 1. As a chord number that becomes 2223 and its a D7. That proves you can play a Barre chord. If you can do that move on. Ok, leave the Barre in place with your Index finger and remove your 2nd finger completely. Next, with your Pinky place it on string 1 fret 5 you have just played a D Major and the chord number is 2225. If you can do that, you're almost there. Move BOTH fingers up 2 frets (up is towards the sound hole) and you have your E Major chord. Now I have gone the long way around and now you know where the E Major is a what fingers to use you don't need to start with the D7. I'm not covering 3 strings and muting another, not covering 3 strings and raising up so as not to touch the 1st string, not twisting 3-4 fingers. My system uses 2 fingers, your index and Pinky. Also an added bonus, if you move everything up another fret you have a delightful inversion of F Major.
Thank you so much for letting me know by taking the time to comment about what worked for you :). I really appreciate it, and I'm glad that this helped. Have a great day.
@OneMusicSchool I'm actually trying a new method I saw in your comments section where they would hold the first string by the thumb. That works too n I kinda like that alot.
how do people bar it seems impossible no matter how much i practice because i can never push hard enough without muting the chords especially when i need to push another fret with another finger ugh
![Lil Uzi Vert - Chill Bae [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D7F42F_JM3U/mqdefault.jpg)
I still can't play this chord. I literally avoid all songs with E.
E stands for evil chord!!!
🤣🤣 yes it is!

I tried one song suggested by my friend, it has E chord and then I found myself in here😂
Word!! E is for evil!! Have you gotten it now??
@@tracybonds7115 I found an alternative. It's not even a nice sounding chord. Can't we just scrap it
Starting to play Ukelele, C chord G chord F chord Am chord. Me: this isn't so hard aha. Trying to play E chord. Me: OKAY NEVER MIND
Exactly! I get so excited about a song then the e chord pops up. "Imma head out...."🤣
When learning C, G, F and Am I thought I could never remember these..few weeks later my fingers go automatically without even looking at the ukelele :-) Im now going to learn this E chord which kept me back from so many great songs!
i would replace E with E7 or Em 😭
Or Bm.... 😂 My fingers where broken
FR HOW THE HECK DO YOU DO E CHORD
thank you! i always avoid songs if they have an E chord hehe, time to stop being lazy i suppose.
+Chazline That was me and the Bm chord when I first started guitar 😀. I completely understand. I hope this helps, and let me know which option was your favorite.

i‘m not ready for this chord 😂🙈
I know, right? Most of my students cry when I tell them that a song has an E chord in it.
i‘m practicing the first method but i always mute my a-string 🙈
The way using only 3 fingers and muting the A string is perfect! Thank you so much!!! :D
The easiest way I found to play this is using my thumb to bar the first three stings in the fourth fret with my index on the last string second fret
You are a genius!!!
Takes a little bit of fiddling with but You are right-
❤
Excelland, Katie! I always liked option #2...What's behind door #2?
Option #1 is good for me too.
Yea!!! I won't have to play this chord with my toes, anymore!....:)
opps...."excellent"...what happend to my spell checker?
+Greg Reynolds That's awesome. You made me laugh 😂😂😂. I always appreciate your sense of humor.
So concise! I've looked at 5 videos today about the e chord and this is the best. Thanks! Subscribed!
Thank you for subscribing! I really appreciate it!
GREAT! Ihated that note and i used to pass all the songs in which it was present... so thanks for showing more comfortable ways to play it :)
+Nico Ohana I'm so glad this helped. I know the way that I play it isn't everyone's favorite, so I'm happy that this can help you 😸. Thanks for watching.
Katie thank you so much! I've been fighting with E for weeks now! You saved my life! Haha
Thanks for the tips (and all your other great videos)! I’ve used Option 3 but find it challenging to switch. The song I’m playing steps down from E to E7. So I’ve started playing E like an E7 and muting the C string since I have the open E string. It’s not as full a sound, but it gets the job done and is faster to change to and from.
Thank you soo much I always thought that 1:21 this was the only way to play the e and I Just didn't get it right so this video was very helpful
I’m so happy that this helped you 😀😀.
That last method worked the best for me. Thank you!
Thanks a lot for providing different options that can work with bigger fingers.
i play E7 instead and it works 90% of the time. and there are songs where E chord is E chord, that's why i am here :)) thanks for your video. i find it useful!
Thank you! I really needed these alternatives. My hand physically can't do some things!
I do my thumb over the 3 in a line, like a bar chord but from behind the neck, and the first finger on the E :)
Wow! That’s awesome that you can really stretch your fingers so far.
option 4 for the win! thank you thank you thank you
So glad that this helped you :). Have a wonderful day, and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the E chord tutorial, Katie! I have never tried muting the A string. That option works really well for me!
Nice!!! I'm so happy you found a version that works for you :).
Thankyou for this! The fifth way is the best option for me!
I have been struggling with this Elephant chord for almost one month.It really needs practice. Sometimes it listens but sometimes it doesn't.And also thank you Miss Katie for your tutorial at least I can find options for this Elephant chord.
+jackii sharona Great to hear that this can help. Let me know which one is your favorite after you try them all.
I think variation 4 and 5 is better for me.Miss Katie ,could you show us the correct way of holding a ukulele?
THat's a great question. I'll see if I can get to it.

So happy that this helped!

Love you Katie, you're awesome ❤

Thumb over the 4th fret and index on the 2nd. I also play D this way. I'm a guy with bigger fingers. Test it out!
This will help all beginners struggling in E major chord

One shape that work well for me is with thumb on G string 4th fret

my fingers are too short to play E chords, so annoying.. but I got the answer! thank you so much!
It's been almost a year since i started playing ukulele and i'm still avoiding the E chord 🥲 I'll try harder from now on i hope
Hi katie
Thanks, I don't know how I missed the second option!
Glad I could help!
Notification squad here XD
+manil amatya Yea!!!!y family is here 🤸.
Thank u
I use my 1st finger on the 2nd fret and wrap my thumb around to cover the top 3 strings at the 4th fret. Have you ever seen this?
There’s an easier way to do the e chord. Barre the 4th fret and put the pinky finger in the A string, in the 7th fret
Yes, that's a great option.
I just can't get any of these to work T_T the most possible one is #2 for me but I can't get my first finger to press down while the other three are down without it sounding muted. One finger always slides of no matter in which position I try it, it's so frustrating

That made my day to know that it helped 😀. Keep on strumming and God bless ❤️.
How do you mute the a string??
In my opinion you missed the easiest one of the lot. Let me show you how to build it.

Can I press the g string with my thumb?
I’ve seen people do that 😀.
One Music School but is it ok? Cause once I discovered this way of playing the E chord it felt so easy and a little bit like cheating
please you can t do an instrument collection ?
+Mario-Stefan Stan That's an interesting request 😀. I hope you won't be disappointed because I really don't have that many.
I still can't do it
Option 2 is best...
i want to play champagne supernova and of course this is one of the most common chords
I think the easiest for me as a beginner was 2:10
The second option is also fine but it the sounds not as good to me.
Thank you so much for letting me know by taking the time to comment about what worked for you :). I really appreciate it, and I'm glad that this helped. Have a great day.
@OneMusicSchool I'm actually trying a new method I saw in your comments section where they would hold the first string by the thumb. That works too n I kinda like that alot.
Option 4 is the only one I can get fast
So glad you found one :).
0:14 The what? What is the word? "Bar Version" or "Bard Version" :) I am a not native english speaker. And what does it mean?
Oh! "Barre Version" I guess? Saw it right now in a other video title :)))
I like "Bard Version" :)
I am four month on ukulele and whenever I see B or E chord I cried
Same here
I am 8 months still i cant play those both chords
Where’s the lines to put your fingers for option 4? The one to make a diagonal bar??
High five!
check out ," e chord ukulele thumb" can play day one!
Yes, some of my students really like that one.
I generally substitute the E chord with an E7 chord, which is much easier to play.
3rd variation is impossible for me. My small finger would need to be at least 0.5inches longer to reach the 4th fret.
I stop learning ukulele after I have to play E chord in the course
I don’t get how this chord is possible to do. My fingers are just too big for some options or slightly too small for others. It’s a nightmare!
Katie, I think I really need a lesson on this cord. Please contact me.
C- easy
F- confident
E- fingers disabled
Option 3 is much better
Now let's try to play rush e on ukulele.
how do people bar it seems impossible no matter how much i practice because i can never push hard enough without muting the chords especially when i need to push another fret with another finger ugh
