Barre

Barre chords are chords where your index finger holds down most of the strings on one fret...they can be tricky if you are fairly new to guitar, but are very useful to break away from open chord shapes, or to play chords you simply can't play in the open position.

These chords are extremely common and you will find them in most guitar based pieces.
