To play the E6 chord, place the index finger on the 1st fret of the top g-string, middle finger on the 1st fret of the C-string, and ring finger on the 2nd fret of the bottom A-string. Let the other string ring open.
The E6 chord contains the notes E-G#-B-C#.
To build an E6 chord, take the added sixth chord formula (1-3-5-6) and apply it to the E major scale (E, F#, G#, A, B, C#, D#).
Identify the first, third, fifth, and sixth scale degrees in the E major scale, which are E-G#-B-C#, giving you an E6 chord.
