The key of E major allows us to create guitar parts that sound beautiful as we can easily add in the open strings. We have the low E and A strings for bass notes (for the I chord and IV chord) and we can use the high B and E strings to ring out open as you play fretted chord shapes for that ‘jingly-jangly’ sound.
Harmonising the major scale and using diatonic thirds is a great way to create these beautiful guitar parts. I’ll take you through some guitar music theory on how we harmonise the major scale and then we’ll add in the open strings for those beautiful chords to come to life.
