How to Create a Tab Drawing for the Em Chord

Where should Alois place the dots in his tab drawing for the Em chord?

Alois is making a tab drawing that shows the Em chord. He knows he needs to place a dot with a 2 in it on the A string and a dot with a 3 in it on the D string. Where is the best place for Alois to make his dots?

Placement of Dots for the Em Chord

The best place for Alois to make his dots for the Em chord is to put a dot with a "2" on the second fret of the A string, and a dot with a "3" on the second fret of the D string. Following these steps will help Alois accurately depict the Em chord in his tab drawing.

To help Alois create a tab drawing for the Em chord, he should follow these steps:

• Begin by drawing six horizontal lines, representing the six strings of the guitar from top to bottom (low E to high E).
• Draw vertical lines for the frets, with each line spaced evenly apart.
• Remember that the A string is the second string from the top and the D string is the third string from the top.
• Place a dot with a "2" in it on the A string (second string from the top) at the second fret. This represents placing the middle finger on the second fret of the A string.
• Place a dot with a "3" in it on the D string (third string from the top) at the second fret as well. This represents placing the ring finger on the second fret of the D string.
• Keep the rest of the strings (low E, G, B, and high E) open, meaning there will be no dots on these strings.

By following these steps, Alois will be able to accurately draw the Em chord on his tab, making it easier for him to remember the finger placements on the guitar.
