 Learn Guitar Barre Chords
Barre Chords are among the hardest of chords to play.
Some barre chords require using all 4 fingers on the
frethand, and require the use of barring the index finger
using the index finger to hold down 5 or 6 strings.The
name of the barre chord, is determined by the roote note,
the first note played, which gives the chord its name.
So , for example, if the chord begins with A note, you'll
be playing an A barre chord. If it begins with a B note,
you'll be playing a B chord.
Major Barre Chords / Roote Note 6th string
Shown below is A major barre chord.I started with A,
because of the fact that F chord at the first fret may
seem like a longer stretch due to width of the frets,
and the higher chords like D at the 10th fret, may seem
hard to "squeeze" in all the fingerings at first. Which
is why A barre chord is a happy medium.The first tablature
staff shows the fingerings. All the major barre chords with
the roote note on the 6th string use these fingerings.
Finger Codes: i = index m= middle r = ring p = pinky
