Part 1 · E and A Shape Bar Chords
E Shape Bar Chords (Root 6)
The E and A shape bar chords are "grip chords". This is because the root of the bar chord is the lowest bass note, on either the 5th or 6th string. You will see these same shapes in other pages in this book.
Root
Each grip is drawn where the book draws it. Pick a root to move them all there, and press ▶ to hear a chord.
