easiest way to do it ever, and extremely comfortable on soprano:

444x <—as in mute the **A** string, not the g string

i figured this one out when i was doing an acoustic cover of hey ya on uke. you have to slide up to the e chord wicked fast from d and so it makes their chord shape identical so you can just slip right up there and simply rest your pinky on the a-string. really i don’t know why the e is so dreaded xD

Olivia: Some people do swear by the thumb technique. There must be something wrong with my thumbs.

Haha, thumb across is actually the one that ends up sounding the best for me, but yeah, it’s not exactly convenient.

Blocked E7 feels nice, too bad for that ‘thunk.’

Pauline: Sorry to hear about that. I hope the post was some use to you.

Marcy and Dan: Transposing works well most of the time – particularly when the song is in E or A. But sometimes it creates more problems than it solves.

Josh: Eb is a good key for pissing off guitarists ;)

What about the transpose-the-entire-song-up-a-half-step method? That is the one I use most often.

When we’re doing circle jams, if the guitarists in front of me have been doing a few too many songs in E, I take revenge by doing a song in F. (The clever ones just capo up, but still.)

I do one of three things:

Do the double up.

Try E7. If it sounds OK, I use it.

Transpose.
