E add9 Guitar Chord

Today's Guitar Chord of the Day is E add9. This Guitar Chord is a simple variation on a standard E major guitar chord, adding the 9th note of the scale.

In this inversion we take a standard E major open chord voicing and add the 9th on the 2nd fret of the E string using the little finger.

Add9 chords can be played anywhere that you would normally play a normal major chord, so try substituting this chord, or adding it as a simple embellishment to a regular E chord while you're playing.
