Re: Eb in E shape or Am? (7 replies, posted in Acoustic)
this is a good time to say PRACTICE YOUR BARRE CHORDS. I know they're hard and frustrating and impossible at times, but once you get them, sharps & flats and sevenths and ninths and minors become very easy--you don't have to learn a bunch of new fingerings, you just slide the shape up or down a fret, or lift a finger.
Yeah im still learning, not even been playing a year yet but got most barre's in E shampe figured out, its A shape I cant get especially down at the bottom of the fret board where its a bit tighter for finger space.

Re: How to play different chords (14 replies, posted in Acoustic)
The way I learned to play barre's was always in E. Start on E but DO NOT use your index finger, keep it loose and use you middle,ring and pinkie to play it then move to fret 2 and barre fret 1 with your index (if you dont know what barring is, its just covering all strings using the whole of your index finger) that gives you F and then just move up the frets you'll get most major chords.
Doing the same with the Am shape gives you notes such as Bm and C#m.
Theres a chord chart HERE that will help alot.
Hope this all helps you mate, I started playing in December/January and took a while to learn barre's but i have the hang of it now.
