The A/E chord

A/E is A with E as the lowest note. Slash chords like this let the bass line move step by step between chords.

Numbers on the dots are fingers: 1 index, 2 middle, 3 ring, 4 pinky. ○ means play the string open and × means don't play it. Orange marks the root note. The tab reads from the low E string to the high E string.
