I think that if you're going to barre a B chord on the 2nd fret, might as well do it the right way.  This is because other barre chords also use this same shape.  Other barre chords like C, D, E, and F all use this shape right up the neck.  So, why not do it right, so you can run up and down the neck without changing shape? 

Just my two cents!

Hey, I've played my acoustic for a year now.  I can do just about every chord, several scales, I've fooled around with a slide, and I've learned how to fingerpick.  I can do lots of random intros and riffs, a couple solos, a couple full-length songs, and a couple acoustic solos.  My question is, where do I go from here? I'm holding out on an electric for a few months (I'd rather get a good one than something I'll be bored with in a year), but what else can I do on my acoustic besides practice and get better? Any suggestions for songs, techniques, or styles would be apprecaited.  Thanks a lot

Hi John,

Okay, I've given this one a go.  See what you think.

intro:
Am  C  G x2

verses:
Am  C  G x2

pre-chorus':
B7   Em   A
Am  D     G

chorus':
C  D  G
C  D  G - D/F# - Em
Am  C  G

bridge:
Em  C    G - D/F# - B7   Em
C    Am  D

outro:
Am  C   G   repeated

It's hard to lay it out without the lyrics, but hopefully you can match it up with what you have worked out already.  It'll be interesting to see whether you agree with the chords, or not.

thanks,
Ant

hey any one can tell me how to clear up the barre cords,i am trying for 2 months, i know it will take sometime but i want to clear this cords quickly.(i want to be a classical guitarist & training for 10 months only)

hello.  i'm new this is my first post.  i just got my first guitar a couple weeks ago (i'm 48).  just something i've been wanting to do for my own pleasure, but MAN it's sooooo hard!  i didn't realize how hard it would be.  i have a new found appreciation for guitarists.  i'm going to start lessons after the holidays but have been dabbling a bit on my own.  chordie has helped.  i've been working for three days now on learning three chords!  seems ridiculous!  my fingertips are killing me for one, getting my fingers positioned exactly right so i'm not muting the other strings is also killing me.  it's hard to believe this is ever going to flow when it takes me like 30 seconds to get my fingers in just the right position to play one chord.  ah well, i'm trying not to get discouraged...just needed to vent!

backagain i started with buddy holly ,little richard,link ray,elvis,all the groups of the fifties and then the beatles i agree i think after the late 70ths most roc and roll morphed into crap so i went in another direction,actually several i write and record and still practice everyday so i dont have to worry about the calluses.
