Em chord question for guitar?

Question

for the Em chord do u just strum the A and D strings?

and if not which strings?

Answer 1

You strum all 6 strings since the strings you are not fretting (high E, B, G, and low E) all participate in the Em chord.

Answer 2

It all depends on what you are playing.  I could play one chord several ways during the course of a song.  It's personal preference.  Generally, if you're just strumming, you would play all six strings.

Answer 3

You play all of the strings, although when I'm playing I usually only play as far as B ... sounds just as good in my opinion!

Answer 4

well if it's E MINOR you strum all the strings

E(ddie) -- strummed

A(te) -- strummed

D(ynamite) -- strummed

G(ood) -- strummed

B(ye) -- strummed

e(ddie) -- strummed



(yeah i thought i would throw in my string memorization method in there too)

and if it's E Major

you strum the 2 strings that you already have your fingers on for E minor and then add your pointer finger and put it on the G string...and strum all the strings
