What Are Barre Guitar Chords

Barre (bar) chords should be learnt by all the guitarists. If you can find notes on the fifth & sixth strings, you will have the ability to play chord be it a major seventh or  minor seventh or dominant seventh chor. You will have to learn a just a few shapes more to play any other chord.

Bar chords can be more than that but they definitely are the most important and they can give you the variety to play most of the rock and blue songs. They are handy to learn and are sometimes also called as moveable chords. You got to learn one shape for each of the chord and then move it along fretboard to change its starting note.


Bar chords can extend beyond those listed above but these are the most important and they give you enough variety to play most rock and blues songs. Barre (bar) chords are also called moveable chords and this is what makes them so handy to learn. The fact they are moveable chords means you simply learn one shape for each chord type and move it along the fretboard to change it’s starting note.
