Perhaps the most important type of chords to learn is Barre Chords; because this will make your job as guitar player so much easier. Basically they will allow you to easily play chords that are either difficult or impossible to play in the open position.

But the opposite is this: although bare chords are very versatile, they are more difficult to hold as they require stronger grip, thus you need finger strength and perseverance to hold it steadily. It’s a more advanced technique, but keep on going and you’ll be glad you did.

First you may want to re check the guitar notes page before continuing. Give specific attention to the low E and A strings. When you got that pulled up go to the barre chords page and get ready for some action (or torture perhaps?).

Nahh, I’m just kidding, as I said barre chords can be a bit tricky to learn at first, but I’m confident that you will get through that without having a serious mental breakdown or accidentally left your guitar in an unlocked car in some bad neighborhood with the windows down. After you work on these chords you’ll be a stronger player, I promise you that.
