Barre chord progressions – lesson 1
The Guitar-chord.org lesson series barre chords starts with a simple two chord change. The progression involves the two standard barre shapes of minor chords (see also minor 7th chords under "Alternative chords diagrams"). Among barre chords, these makes a relatively easy start since the string tensions on the middle of the neck is looser than on the first frets.
Progression:
Am | Dm | Am | Dm
1st bar | 2nd bar | 3rd bar | 4th bar
