Topic: Order of Barre chords

Hi guys

Im new to the forum, picked up a guitar 2 months ago and have been learning since. I wondered if you could help me
Out. Imagine playing a barre chord starting Emajor, then Fmajor then F#major Gmajor etc etc whats the correct order down until the 12th fret ehere it starts at E major again? I know there is no B#major but im not sure of the order. Hope this makes sense??? Thanks

If you always put limit on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them...

Hope this helps!

Re: Order of Barre chords

whether you'er playing a note / chord /bar chord...each next fret up is a semitone higher ..
so if you are playing a C the next fret up is C# ( either a note or a chord ) and so on
(the chord must not change 'shape' and not include open strings )
C  C#  D  D# E  F  F# G  G#  A  A#  B  -- There is no B# and no E#

make a ' clock ' of the notes then you can start anywhere

going down a fret there is no Cb ( flat )  or  Fb  (  B# /  E#  res)   

eg if you start @ E:   E  F  F#  G  G#  A  A#  B  C  C#  D  D#  E ( octave higher ) F  F#  G  ..and so on

hope this makes sense                                    A   
                                                            G#        A#
                                                        G                   B
                                                       F#                   C
                                                         F                  C#
                                                            E           D
                                                                  D#
