    @ Our Jud

    Have you ventured on to Barre Chords? If so, how's it going?

    No, not yet. Don’t even know what they are right now. I signed up for the Justin Guitar course, so slowly working through that. I promised myself this learning to play the guitar was never going to become a chore, as that’s when I’d give up, but that relaxed attitude means I’m not practicing anything like as much as I need to. I should be far more competent than I am by now. I still don’t feel comfortable or relaxed holding the thing yet, and aches in my fretting hand / arm mean I don’t practice for long when I do practice.

    All the best with your guitar lessons.

    The basic Barre Chords are built around 4 types (shapes): E, E minor, A and A minor. There are other Barre Chords as well.

    With these 4 types you can play 48 chords just by holding and moving the chord up the fret board.
