Barre Chords are used a lot. It's good to know them. However, even more important could be the components. Let's say that barre chords aren't your thing and your sound/style has more to do with open strings and other sounds. Well, here you go! While this lesson is Part Two of the Barre Chords Trilogy, you can use the concepts in this lesson to write a lot of cool chord vamps and songs. This lesson is a creative door. Open it. Explore.
