Major Guitar Barre Chord Charts Added!
Our list of guitar chords has been updated with the most common major barre chords! These barre chords bar all of the strings (except the first type of F major chord).
If you are just learning your barre chords for guitar, be patient! It may come quick for some, but more than often, it requires time to build up the adequate amount of strength in your fingers and wrist to be able to play a clean barre chord. I won’t lie to you. Barre chords can be hard! So give it time.
On these barre chord chart diagrams, you’ll notice that there is a little marking to the left of the diagram that has a number and “fr.” like 3fr. and 5fr. These markings indicate what fret you play the barre chord position on. So if the markings say, 3fr., you’d play the barre chord on the 3rd fret.

Brett, whats the cord for C2 and Em7?
i tried looking for it here but i cant seem to find it. please help!
Mary,
The C2 (or also known as the Cadd9) chord can be played like so:
e |–3–|
B |–3–|
G |–0–|
D |–2–|
A |–3–|
E |–x–|
An Em7 is played just a little bit differently from a C2 chord. An Em7 looks like this:
e |–3–|
B |–3–|
G |–0–|
D |–2–|
A |–2–|
E |–0–|
If this way of showing you the fingering is confusing, that’s because it is in “tab”. I wrote a post on how to read tab here: http://www.guitarfriendly.net/2008/05/learn-to-read-guitar-tabs/
