Most variations of these two chords can be barred: dominant 7ths, minors, minor 7ths, etc. Sometimes the guitarist leaves out the highest note in a double barre chord. Guitar tablature of an open A chord and an A-shape D barre chord.
From fret one to twelve, the barred A becomes B ♭, B, C, C ♯, D, E ♭, E, F, F ♯, G, A ♭, and at the twelfth fret (that is, one octave up), it is A again. For instance, barred at the second fret, the A chord becomes B (X24442). They then barre either the ring or little finger across the 2nd (B), 3rd (G), and 4th (D) strings two frets down, or one finger frets each string. To barre the A chord shape, the guitarist puts the index finger across the top five strings, usually touching the 6th string (E) to mute it.
The "A" type barre chord, occasionally called the double barre, is the A chord shape (X02220) moved up and down the frets. Guitar tablature of an open E chord and an E-shape A barre chord. The next fret up is F ♯, followed by G, A ♭, A, B ♭, B, C, C ♯, D, E ♭, and then back to E (1 octave up) at fret twelve. For example, the E chord barred one fret up becomes an F chord (133211). The E-type barre chord is an E chord shape (022100) barred up and down the frets, transposing the chord. The two most commonly barred notes are variations on the fingering shapes of A and E in first (open) position. Keys that don't have many open notes in standard tuning (hence few or no open chord fingerings) require many barre chords. Guitarists typically use barre chords to voice chords in higher positions. Such chords are hard to play for beginners due to the pressing of multiple strings with a single finger.ĭ ♭/C ♯ barre chord (left), difficult to reach in open position (right). For example, when the current chord is an E major and the next is an F ♯ major, the guitarist barres the open E major up two frets (two semitones) from the open position to produce the barred F ♯ major chord. Using the barre technique, the guitarist can fret a familiar open chord shape, and then transpose, or raise, the chord a number of half-steps higher, similar to the use of a capo. Barre chords are a distinctive part of the sound of pop music and rock music. A closed, or fretted, note sounds slightly different from an open, unfretted, string. Playing a chord with the barre technique slightly affects tone quality. Commonly used in both popular and classical music, barre chords are frequently used in combination with "open" chords, where the guitar's open (unfretted) strings construct the chord. Most barre chords are "moveable" chords, as the player can move the whole chord shape up and down the neck. To play an F ♯ chord the guitarist may barre strings so that the chord root is F ♯. For instance, if a guitar is tuned to regular concert pitch, with the open strings being E, A, D, G, B, E (from low to high), open chords must be based on one or more of these notes. Players often use this chording technique to play a chord that is not restricted by the tones of the guitar's open strings. In music, a barre chord (also spelled bar chord) is a type of chord on a guitar or other stringed instrument played by using one finger to press down multiple strings across a single fret of the fingerboard (like a bar pressing down the strings). Open E major chord, E major barre chord, then open E major chord.
