    I am beginner in playing both Piano & Guitar. You speak of guitar ( Tabs) so you are talking about the short hand used for the E Minor Chord.

    In music, when reading the chord names as you play it generally will have just the letter name for a Major Chord; such as, A, or C but use a small letter m for the minor chords. Such as, Em or Cm for E minor or C minor chords.
