@Bill_Brown , Thanks for getting back with me.

Yes, your right, not a full E or full A shape, they are both modified to be minor. For Em I used an A shape but because it was a minor I moved the note on the 2<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>nd</sup> string one fret up toward the headstock. Making it an Em. Did the same thing with the Am which used the E shape, because it was a minor chord I lifted the 2<sup style=”background-color: var(–bb-content-background-color); font-family: inherit; color: var(–bb-body-text-color);”>nd</sup> string note up one fret toward the headstock making it an open string.

Yes, I did notice that the Em & Bm were using the same 7^th fret. Also Am and Bm use the same shape of Em just a couple frets away from each other.

Ok, this gets me a little confused over the meaning of ‘relative’. I understand that the key of G has minor chords in the 6-2-3 positions. I’m a little fuzzy on why Em is called a ‘relative’ minor thou? Is it because the same notes are in it as the Key of G? That’s what I’m assuming. Wait…. So if the key of Em is a ‘relative’ minor of the Key of G. THEN the relative major of E minor would be the Key of G Major. Does this make sense?

Yes, I am pretty sure I have a grasp on everything else. It’s just what the part about Em being called ‘relative’ minor.

I’m getting this. I just have to keep reinforcing it to make it 2^nd nature to me.
