Best Answer

Bar cords are played on the guitar either by using index finger pressed across all the strings (sometimes with added pressure of of middle finger), or by the use of specialised device made for this purpose. Think of playing the basic chords of C, Am, E, Em - now play them with the middle, ring and little fingers - slide them up one fret and use the index finger to press down all 6 strings together - that is a barre chord. You then slide that chord to wherever you want it

There are lots of ways to play that chord on a guitar. Assuming your guitar is tuned to standard(E A D G B e) tuning, one way to play an E flat Minor is to bar the entire 6th fret with your first finger starting on the A string up to the e string, put your ring finger on the 8th fret of the D string, pinky on the 8th fret of the G string, middle finger on the 7th fret of the B string, and the 6th fret of the e string should still be barred. Play the chord from the A string, and you'll have E Flat Minor.

What is the D Minor chord on the piano?

A "IIb" chord is a "flat 2 chord" or a "flattened 2 chord" in the specific key you're playing in. In a 12 bar blues in the key of A, the last bar of the song can either be a turnaround with a I, VIb, V chord progression or if ending the song, the last two chords can be IIb, and a I chord. The I chord is "A" and the IIb chord is B flat. To the ear, the B flat of coarse sounds the same as an A#.

How do you play A on guitar?

There are many different ways to play A on a guitar. 1. Open Chord: First three fingers on D, G, and B strings or one finger bar them 2. Note on E strings: 5th fret or 17th fret 3. Open A string or 12th fret 4. E-shaped bar chord at 5th fret 5. Power chord at 5th fret and many more but heres a few for starters I do it this way sometimes for an open chord but am trying to get out of the habit and use my pinkie or 4th finger instead of 1, 2 and 3rd fingers as that allows me to prepare for barre chords.
