E 6 — Guitalele

Every way to grip E 6 on ADGCEA strings — easiest first, with sound.

E 6 chord diagram, starting at fret 1. Strings low to high: A open, D 2nd fret, G 2nd fret, C 1st fret, E 2nd fret, A open.

The E 6 chord contains the notes E – G# – B – C#. On the Guitalele (tuned ADGCEA) each voicing below maps those tones onto 6 strings — the chart shows the frets, the suggested fingers, and which chord tone every string carries.

Guitar shapes work unchanged on guitalele — finger them exactly as charted; every shape sounds a perfect fourth higher than on guitar.

Start from the easiest grip, then try the alternatives up the neck until one sits under your hand. Tap a chart to hear the voicing before you commit to it.
