This lesson explains how to expand your knowledge of one of the most important chord layouts used on the guitar... the “Barre” chord. Barre chord shapes are vital to us as guitar players because they open up the neck for many other chord types that are found in other keys. They allow us to play unique chords that are unavailable from within our first position chord set... 




BARRE CHORD BENEFITS:
If you require a chord type that contains an accidental like an, “F# Minor” or perhaps, “Bb Major” you’ll need to know how to use Barre Chords. The Barre Chords allow us access to chord names that use accidentals off of the root. This is not available from out open position set.

Once you get the basics of Barre Chords down, you’ll need to understand something called “Barre Chord Relationships.” This covers the concept of how the Barre Chords are laid out and applied musically on the neck of the guitar. Once you can comprehend "Barre Chord" Relationships you will be able to effectively use Barre Chords anyplace on the guitar.
