Written Materials for This Lesson

Welcome to Part One of BARRE CHORDS. Barre Chords can be tough for some. So, I split this lesson into three parts. Do not be discouraged if this lesson requires a little extra effort! We are going to develop strength and stamina in our fretting hand. This takes some time. Be patient with yourself. If you experience pain, take a breatk. It's cool.


Barre Chords

  • E (6th) string (Low) = first (1st) finger, fifth (5th) fret
  • A (5th) string = first (1st) finger, fifth (5th) fret
  • D (4th) string = first (1st) finger, fifth (5th) fret
  • G (3rd) string = first (1st) finger, fifth (5th) fret
  • B (2nd) string = first (1st) finger, fifth (5th) fret
