If used, simply barre across all 6 strings with your index on String One (low E)* Root on String TwoMovable Barre chordsBeginners Guitar Chords (continued)The roots (lowest black diamonds) of these barre chord voicings can be aligned to any fret-line to produce the desired letter named example: the Major barre chord shape that looks like the open position E Major chord (top row, root on string one or low E) can be played at the first fret for an F Major chord , or at the third fret for a G Major chord . Likewise, the Major barre chord shape that looks like the open position A Major chord (second row, root on string two or A) can be played on the second fret for B Major or on the third fret for C principle applies to all barre Chords , Major, minor, seventh, etc.

3 That's the beauty of barre Chords , they're movable and the letter names and locations (fret number) of the notes on strings one and two, low E and A (first twelve frets).
