Guitar Basics: Learn Barre Chords

Welcome to my “Guitar Basics” series. This class is all about mastering barre chords. It’s designed for beginners and applies to both acoustic and electric guitar.

Barre chords unlock the fretboard and free up your guitar playing! They are very versatile chords and are used in countless songs. Learning barre chords is an essential step in a guitar player’s development. In this class we will cover the correct way to build and play these particular chords.

After we learn how to play full barre chords and half barre chords we will utilize these skills to learn and play an original song.

Key Lessons:

• How to play barre chords
• How to play half barre chords
• How to use a capo to get the most out of your guitar’s fretboard
• An introduction to music theory as it relates to the guitar and creating chords
• How to play a song that uses barre chords, giving you the chance to put these concepts into action
• Tips, tricks and resources

Resources: A downloadable PDF, that includes the chord diagrams (chord boxes) used in the song. I also provide sheets to help with tuning your guitar and reading chord diagrams.

This class was created with beginners in mind, but it assumes you’re already familiar with guitar essentials such as major and minor open chords, rhythmic notation, and reading guitar charts. For a refresher on any of those skills, review some of my other classes such as Acoustic Guitar Basics or Electric Guitar Basics.
