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
