How To Play Barre Chords on Guitar

Barre chords are a beautiful thing. You only need to really learn a few key shapes and by changing the shapes around a little … you can create a bunch of different chords. In this lesson we’ll take a look at major, minor and seventh chords.

These are the most important chords and are found in most songs. By learning these and how to place them across the finger board … (depending on the chord that you need) … you’ll be able to play a bunch of songs, as well as create your own original material.
