Free Guitar Ebook Guitar Barre chords C Shaped Barre Chords
The C shaped barre chord is another moveable form
of a guitar chord that will allow you to change
chords without having to change fingerings. The
index finger barres (holds down the strings) and
frets the notes played on the small e and G stings,
while the middle finger is placed on the B string,
the ring finger is then placed on D string and the
pinky finger is placed upon the A string as indicated
below, showing the chord C# major.
