Love jack Johnson’s music and now can play a more authentic version.In this free guitar lesson you will learn: After 6 years of messing around I feel like I can sound like someone I would want to listen to. It really is a a lot more fun to play with barres and feel like I can now open up my playing. turns out I had that one down within a few days and is my preferred way of playing A now. I kept putting the A shape off thinking that would be tough to fret three strings with my stubby finger. That I knew would be my reward for getting the first one. It finally did and then the others came easier. I just applied what I had learned when practicing open chords, that with practice it would come. The hardest part was to be able to play it cleanly on a regular basis. It was not too hard to get the hand to accept the shape and be somewhat comfortable with it. So I worked on the F shape, pretty much for well over a year. But I knew I had to learn these to advance as you pointed out. This was something I was dreading while a beginner. Move the entire chord up a half step (1 fret) you get “B”, move up another half step “C”, etc. The root note is an A# note so you’re playing an A# chord (or Bb). If you take the third diagram “the A major shape barre chord” you can see the lowest note (the root note) is now on the fifth string, first fret and not on the sixth string because that string is muted. The fourth chord diagram is A#m (or Bbm) chord. The third chord diagram is an A# major chord (or Bb). The second chord diagram, the Em chord shape is actually an Fm (F minor) chord. You can also do this with the other chord shapes. So you can play each shape barre chord in twelve different keys. Move up next is G#, A, A#, B, C, C# D, D#, E and finally back to F on the 13th fret. Let’s give you another example, if you move up the entire E major shape barre chord another half step (starting with your index finger on the third fret) you get a G major chord.
If you don’t know all the notes on the strings check out “Learn the guitar fingerboard thoroughly in 16 days”.Īs you can see, you can move up the E major shape barre chord all across the fretboard. Now if you move up the entire E major shape barre chord a half step (1 fret), you’re playing a F# major chord, because your lowest note (the root note) is now on the sixth string, second fret, which is an F# note. This root note defines the name of your chord.
The lowest note which you press with your index finger on the sixth string, first fret is the F note, which is also the root note of your chord. When you start the E major shape barre chord starting on the first fret you’re actually playing an F major chord.
The E major shape barre chord indicates a barre with an E major (shape) chord played with your middle, ring and pinky. If you don’t get a good sound out of each and every string it might be due to some of your fingers touching neighbor strings that keep them from sounding clear or you need some more pressure on the strings using the tip of your fingers. Pick all the strings one by one to make sure each string sounds clear. Your ring finger on the fifth string, third fret and your pinky on the fourth string, third fret. Next put your middle finger on third string, second fret. Now rotate your index finger slightly back onto its side so you’re not placing it totally flat on the strings and hold down all the strings. (the finger in the picture is on the sixth fret, we’re starting on the first fret). Place it on the first fret across all the strings just like the picture above in the beginning of this post. The green line illustrates your index finger. Let’s take the first chord diagram, the E major shape barre chord for example:
