In a Fender Play LIVE session, host Eugene Edwards chats with special guest Jon MacLennan and Fender tone expert Dylan Caligiuri about why the E, A, and B major chords are essential to playing guitar. Beginners and seasoned players alike can take advantage of these open-string chords and how they correspond to several open strings of the guitar (in open E tuning) itself. This lends itself to allowing open bass notes (like the low E) to ring out while playing a chord progression. You’ll also learn more about simplified power chord versions of the E, A, and B chords and hear them played in Joe Strummer’s “Coma Girl.”
