-A <u>barre chord</u> uses a flattened index finger to fret most or all of the strings, with the index finger usually playing the bass and/or root note of the chord.  This technique allows for a few common shapes to play different chords simply by changing position.
+A '''barre chord''' uses a flattened index finger to fret most or all of the strings, with the index finger usually playing the bass or root note of the chord.  This technique allows for a few common shapes to play different chords simply by changing position.
 We've already encountered a barre chord when discussing the [[F Major Chord]], but here we will apply it to a larger variety of chords and learn the technique for future chord shapes.

 * If your middle finger is not being used, you can put the middle finger on top of the index finger to get extra strength if you find it difficult to sustain enough pressure for cleanly fretting all the notes
-* Focus on each string individually, trying various adjustments to get a clean note, such as angling the index finger or gripping with the strings aligning with different places on the index finger - if a string falls into a joint groove, it may be more difficult to push it against the fret.

		+	* Practice all of the above shapes. Remember to focus on each note individually and keep practicing until you can consistently fret every note of every chord cleanly.
		+	* Once you can can make each shape cleanly, practice using the chords in various progressions. You can use the example above, as well as using the same root note pattern, but on the 5th and 4th string instead of 6th and 5th. Also try some progressions from previous lessons, as well as making up your own (maybe you've already started making your own).
		+	* Slowly work on speed, trying to attempt quicker transition times between chords, while still cleanly fretting all notes.
		+	* Try alternating between the E/A/D shapes and G/C shapes in various positions. Again, first focus on clean fretting, then build transition speed.

 Let's say our goal is to play a I - IV - V - I progression in A{{flat}} Major.  On other instruments, it may be necessary to know what the 4th and 5th of A{{f}} is, and to know what notes compose each of the chords involved.  On guitar, we only need to know where to find those root notes on the fretboard and which shapes to play.

 Here are the root notes.  We can figure out where these notes occur quickly:
