Nope.

The major 3rd of E is G#.

An A would make it an Esus4, and to get an Em7, you would need a minor 3rd (G) and you’d have to add a flat 7 (D), an E M7 would be the major 3rd (still G#), and a dom 7 (D#).

This tuning is the same as if you were fingering a regular ol’ 1st position E major chord. You sharp the A and D a whole step, and the G a half step. So, high to low, E B G# E B E.

Thanks.

No, it’s actually a Dunlop pyrex. The white is adhesive mailing label on the inside to keep it from being slippery. Thanks for checking out the vid!
