Barre chords (also known as barré chords and bar chords, but more commonly spelled as "barre") are a type of guitar chord where one or more fingers are used to press down multiple strings across the guitar fingerboard (like a bar pressing down the strings).

Thanks for the encouragement - I am FINALLY taking the plunge and persevering with barre chords after 30 years of avoiding them! Getting there slowly but surely

dude, wat chord are playing to stretch your finger all the way to the 7th fret????????

your hands are not tiny if you can keep one finger on the 2nd fret and extend your pinkie to the

7th fret.

i thought bar chords would be really hard too, but I can play some after my second day trying. One tip I heard is to try to twist the barring finger a bit to press down from the side, because the bottom of the finger has more indentations.
