Start with a song that used barre chords closer to the soundhole, they'll be easier while you're learning
You have to forget about what other people say; when you're supposed to die, when you're supposed to be lovin'. You have to forget about all these things. You have to go on and be crazy. Craziness is like heaven.

Pick one of your favourite songs and play it using barre chords instead of open.
Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Pretty much any rock song using I IV V chord progressions.
G C D
A D E
F Bb C
etc
You'll play a barred E shape, and a barred A shape a lot. This will also help you transpose quite a bit, as it's the same shape and pattern from E to E all the way down the neck.
Someday we'll win this thing...

A few good songs to practice Barre chords:
* Wicked Games - Chris Isaak (E, A, Bm)
* What's Up? - Four Non Blondes (A, D, Bm)
* Sweet Baby James - James Taylor (D, Bm, F#m, G, A)
Good luck!

Re: I Need an introductory to barre chords with an easy song
almost anything by Jack Johnson, in particular "Times like these" and "Flake". Let you me know if you are familiar with the songs and I'll try to help
