    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!

      You guys didnt get the Point of this Video... this knowlege is superpower because he explains where the chords are coming from that means you can play basicly every chord you want by slinding it around a minor could be bmin cmin dmin... and so on please dont skip the Video.

    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. 🎸
