Hey, i'm having trouble finding a chord chart with an E5 on it.

I found it on a blog but I'm not sure if it is right..... I really wouldn't know anyway.

If any of you know it could you post the chart it came from or a Tab?

Thanks.

An E5 chord is not really a chord, but what celtic players call a "diad" and rockers call a "Power chord".  It's a major/minor chord with no third, just a root and a fifth.  One E5 is 4402.

An E5 (a so-called "power chord") has just 2 notes, an E and a B.  There is a 4-string version of the "Gootar" chord generator that you can use to look up any chord:

On a GCEA uke, the chord fingering would be:

       String: G  C  E  A

Fret position: 4  4  0  2

Note generated:B  E  E  B
