Beginners guitar lessons, learning barre chords. This article has the sole purpose of explaining such a barre chord is, and how it can enhance the structure of any melody.
If you have mastered all the basic chords such as, C. D. G. E. F. Any, and maybe a few sevenths, and minors chords, then it is time for you to learn how to enjoy barre chords.
The barre chords take their name from the first finger because it stretches across the fret forming a clubhouse, while the other fingers match the frets directly beneath the barred fret.
For example, if you play the traditional E, major chord and go down one fret keeping the shape of the E chord, but stretching your index finger along the first fret above, you will form the F, chord.
Now if you move that same shape down one step which is a half fret, this gives you the F# pointed chord.
At this point it is important to know that all of the following E shape barre chords possess their root note on the open, E, string. That is the first thickest string about the guitar.
Moving the same condition up a semi tone and that is one fret offers you major and sharp chords.
If you move a similar shape in reverse fret by fret you may have major and flat chords.
This is how that works. Chords moving down the shaft on the bridge give you significant and sharp chords, and coming back in reverse will give you major and flat chords.
The reason why you receive flat notes en route back up is since the note on the particular fret returning is lowered, while going forward the actual note is raised which is called a sharp.
The exception to the present rule is when you get to the B. note. You can find no sharps or flats between these notes.
So you will move directly on the, B major up a new half step and straight into the C, major observe.
This also happens if you play the E, major note and move a half step up, you go straight into your F, major note.
So keep that planned, when you come decrease the fretboard onto the B, note the next immediate note after which is the C, note.
Try out this movement and you'll see exactly how this works.
Now just to notify you in case some electric guitar playing musician tells you that this is not always the correct terminology for the previous notes mentioned over, he is perfectly proper, so you can believe him and say yes you already know that, but it is only in very special circumstances if your E note becomes Electronic sharp, or E ripped, and the B observe becomes B sharp, or maybe B flat.
This conversation is for another day once you have become more proficient from playing barre chords.
