E to G# Minor: A Stretch but Worth It

This transition is a little more advanced, but it gives your fingers strength and flexibility.

E Fingering

  • Index finger: G string, 1st fret.
  • Middle finger: A string, 2nd fret.
  • Pinky: C string, 4th fret.

G# Minor Fingering

  • Keep the index finger on G, 1st fret.
  • Keep the middle finger on A, 2nd fret.
  • Ring finger: C string, 3rd fret.
  • Pinky: E string, 4th fret.

Take your time and build the shape slowly. Clear sound matters more than speed.
