Re: this may also seem a stupid question, but

They certainly look like your garden-variety barre chords / power chords. Basically like E and A in the first position, but with a bar across all the strings for use higher up the neck (barre chords), like using your index finger as a capo. Then you discover that you often only use the 2 or 3 lowest notes, so you can leave out the other notes (power chords). Essential for almost all rock songs.

but thats not how i play my barre chords

Re: this may also seem a stupid question, but

first his guitar is tunned down a half step to Eb on the 6th string and all the other strings are normal tunning ie..Ab 5th,Db 4th,Gb3rd,Bb2nd,Eb1st the bar posistion is a C type x355 and he uses a partial bar for 34xxxx this is moved in conjuntion with the C type theres also another chord similar to a bar Cminor hope this helps a little smile
