How do you strum an Em note-chord on the guitar?

Question

I need to know.

Answer 1

Always strike first the fundamental tone of a chord, as the lowest E in Em. You can strum downward and upward simultaneously by using several fingers. You might consider alternating from O22OOO to O55453 and then to 779987 for different flavoring.

Answer 2

The same way you would strum any other cord, it depends on what your playing, you do mean the Em cord holding the B on the fifth string, the E note on the fourth, in the first position? There are so many ways to strum a cord, but like I said it depends on what you're playing. It could be an up and down motion, or in an arpeggio style, this is where the strings are played one at a time in sequence, sometimes called a rolled cord. Try finding a book on cords and how they are played, try and find one with a Cd in the back of it so that you can hear examples of how this sounds.
