How is chord b

This article examines how to play the B Major chord. There are two common ways to play this chord and unfortunately both of them require tricky fingering because they are barre chords. When you're first learning guitar, many of the chords involve open strings. C, A, G, E, and D, for example, all have open strings that ring out when you strum them.

Not so with the B chord. This one takes extra finger strength and effort because you have to fret every note in the chord. The other common way to play this chord is in the 7th position, like this :.

Playing in the 2nd position can be difficult because of the strength and stamina required to fret everything so close to the nut. We need an alternative; a different version of B that you can use as a stepping stone to develop your finger dexterity and accuracy.

It look like this:. Stick with it! This is the best version of the B guitar chord for beginners to learn. Start making music. This is a great version of the B guitar chord for beginners to use.

This one is played on the 7th fret with the E major shape. You will bar all strings with the 1st finger on the 7th fret. Then you place your 3rd finger on the 9th fret 5th string, 4th finger on the 9th fret 4th string, and 2nd finger on the 8th fret 3rd string. This version of the B chord has a full sparkly sound. A slight variation of the chord above, this is a B but without playing the 5th and 6th strings. Strum only the D, G, B and high e strings. This is the same shape as is used for an open F chord.

The other way you can play it is by barring the B and low e strings with your 1 st finger and using your 2 nd and 3 rd fingers for the other 2 notes. This frees up your pinky to do other things.

Another variation is to barre the B and high e strings with your 1 st finger and use your 2 nd finger in the 8 th fret on the G string, your 3 rd finger in the 9 th fret A string and your 4 th finger in the 9 th fret on the D string. This gives you a B with an F bass. I hope this post has given you some new options for playing the B major chord.
