This is the guy with the Folsom Prison Blues Tutorial video on his blog. I started getting random e-mails from folks wanting to learn things so I did a search and found your site. It’s really great! Anyone who has played guitar for a little while can identify with everything you’re saying. Especially about how lame most guitar books are. You’re doing the right thing by just staying interested and searching out the things you want to find out. Anyway, yes, you can move that barre all over the place! That’s how most rock is played. It’s the same with any of the first position (open) chords. You move them up the neck and barre them with your finger where the “zero fret” (nut) would be. You take your “F” and each fret just goes up the chromatic scale F#-G-G#-A-A#(Bb)-B-C-C#-D-D#(Eb)-E-F Some chord shapes lend themselves to barring more than others. Usually you would just use the E, the A and Am shapes with barres but you’re definitely onto something. There is a whole learning method about that, do a search for CAGED method and you’ll find it. Anyway, this is already too long for a comment. Keep up the good work! Hi Jeff! This is the guy with the Folsom Prison Blues Tutorial video on his blog.
