* Low 5th (grayed tone) is always optional. If used, simply barre across all 6 strings with your index finger.
Root on String One (low E)
* Root on String Two
Movable Barre chords
Beginners 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 chord.
For 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 Major.
This principle applies to all barre chords, Major, minor, seventh, etc. That's the beauty of barre chords, they're movable and universal.
Memorize the letter names and locations (fret number) of the notes on strings one and two, low E and A (first twelve frets). Consult the Guitar Fretboard Note Speller.
