Barre chords

Barre chords are the top of the mountain in beginner's guitar playing. When you master these, then you are ready for some really advanced techniques.

So, what's the difference between open chords and barre chords?
When making barre chord, you need to press entire fret with your index finger. It seems easy, but try it - you won't make it first time. Nor second time. Even 50th time. It takes most practice. But it's worth of it.

So, how do these chords look like?
Let me show you the F chord. It looks like this:
e|---------1----------------------|
B|---------1----------------------|
G|---------2----------------------|
D|---------3----------------------|
A|---------3----------------------|
E|---------1----------------------|

This seems pretty weird, right? Now, put your finger 3 on the 3rd fret of the 5th string, finger 4 on the 4th string, finger 2 on the 3rd and with your index finger (finger 1) fret strings 1,2 and 6. Put your finger over entire first fret and try to fret them. This requires lots of practice. So try it over and over again. By learning the F barre, you basically learned 12 new chords. This is because you just need to move your current finger formation one fret lower, and you gonna get a new chord.

I won't show barre chords here now, because there are many of them, and it's hard to pick important and most used ones.
