I searched high and low for this ridiculously simple piece of information, and he's the only one who gave it. E string barre chords are based on E note shapes, and A string barre chords are based on A note shapes. This answered my question "How do I know which barre chords shapes to play?" I love you so much!

I've been learning the fret board now for a few months and stumbled upon the e rooted bar chords when I moved it off the g barre chord. It makes so much sense now that a rooted chord will be with a chords. Such a amazing design a guitar is. 🎸

As a kid I played all the time, at 20 I quit playing now at 65 I'll play again if I can get my hands to work I love doing the scales again

Brilliant, really informative and in a manner which I understood. For the first time I understood where the name of the chord comes from! Thank you so much

This is THE BEST guitar lesson I've ever watched. I've watched hundreds. I wish this was the first. Thank you. I'll find a way to pay you for this. It's priceless. It opens up the entire fretboard, easily :)

I seen many guitar teachers on You Tube, over last 10 years and this is only one up to now that simplifies barre chords in an easy way that makes perfect sense.
