CAPO: 4th fret
(Will then sound in the original key of G#m)
IGNORE THE CHORD BOX DIAGRAMS that the website
displays, they are generated automatically from a
generic database and often don't show the best
option for a particular chord progression. Just use
the voicings suggested in the text column numbers
For the Em/G and F#m7/A I play them as single
bass notes with a slide down. For F to G/F and
F/G to G, I don't bother with the top two strings
and I finger pick the others. I show the full chord
options too in the chord legend below.
Chord names & fret positions are relative to the capo
Em = 022000 F = 1332xx or 133211
Em7 = 020000 G/F = 1200xx or 120003
Emadd9 = 024000 F/G = 3032xx or 303211
E7sus4 = 020200 G = 3200xx or xx5433
C/D = xx0010 Cmaj7 = x32000
Em/G = 3xxxxx or 322000 F#m7 = 242222
(F#m7/A) = 5xxxxx or x02222
