E Minor, or Em for short, is played with two fingers and is easy to. Learn from this video and images.
We put the first finger on the fifth string on the second fret. Then, there is only one more finger, the second goes on the forth string on the same fret and that’s it. It is as easy as it can be, an E minor chord.
You might watch some videos or look at other guitar-players and see that they use other fingers. When I was a kid I learned that you start with the second finger rather than the first on the fifth string and second fret. That’s okay too, you can play it like that, but the easiest way is to use the first and second fingers.
You don’t need to worry about the strumming on the guitar as you can hit all the strings when you play the Em or E minor.
