In doing so you would be playing these note from lowest to highest: E – B – D – G – B – EĪnd those notes played together make what is known as an Em7 (E minor 7th) chord. You can create a more useable chord that uses almost all of the open strings by simply pressing down the 2nd fret of the A string (this makes the note B) and then play the remaining 5 open strings along with the fretted A string. Typically the player will strike all the open chords for a split second (or one beat) while he moves his fingers from one chord to another. More often, playing all the open strings together is used in between two more prominent chords as a passing chord.
Playing all the open strings at once typically isn’t used as a sustained chord in a chord progression. Now, this doesn’t make a very pleasant sounding chord, but a musical chord none the less. The most extreme example of using as many open strings as possible is simply playing all the strings open at once.
You can either barre multiple strings with one or more fingers or use the open strings within your chord. So how do you play all six strings if you don’t have six fingers to fret them? The guitar has six strings, but you only have 5 fingers (4 not counting the thumb) on your fretting hand to press down the strings. Using the open strings is like having extra fingers. Now, keep in mind that each of those major keys also includes their relative minor counterpart, thus tallying the effective key signature selection to 12 keys… But we’ll keep it simple and go over why these keys are the premium set, especially if you’re playing an acoustic guitar or are a beginner/intermediate player. The top 6 easiest key signatures to play on the guitar are C, G, D, F, A, and E. However, some keys are inherently easier to play on the guitar than others. The guitar as an instrument is fully capable of playing seamlessly through all 12 Key Signatures available in western music. As you learn more songs on the guitar, you will begin to notice that even though each guitarist, songwriter, and song are completely different, many songs written on guitar fall into a select set of key signatures.
