How to Play a B Chord on Guitar

Here’s the basic B Chord Guitar Chart, the correct terminology would be the B Major Guitar Chart, but that sounds too boring!

And here are some photo’s to give you an idea of how a B Chord looks in real life:

Start of by barring the second fret from the second string down, you’ll be barring it at the B note, but the open string is called the A string. (As in E A D G B E).

Important Note:

Before I continue I must let you know of a limited time promotion I am running, it’s all about how to learn guitar chords and master the guitar in the least amount of time possible (in some cases over a single weekend!). If you’re interested: Click here to find out more… (The Bonus is Extra Juicy)

Now with your 3rd finger barre from the 3rd string down, all the way to the bottom, if you strum the second string to the second from the bottom string you’ll now be playing a B Guitar Chord. However when you’re starting out there’s often not enough power in your fingers to hold all the strings down without hitting some dead notes.

So here’s what I do, just use your second finger to help your first finger barre all those strings… it’s a simple fix for this common problem.

So there you have it I hope you enjoyed your B Chord Guitar lesson :)

Oh right, but I forgot to tell you about the other place you can play a B Guitar Chord…

On the 7th fret! Yep, that’s also a B root note so you’ll be able to play a 6th string barre chord and get a b chord out of your guitar. So here’s the low down on how I form a B chord on my guitar at the 7th fret:

As you see I’m starting off by barring the entire 7th fret with my 1st finger

B chord guitar - b

No put your 2nd finger on the 3rd string from the bottom and push down hard. Get ready to put your 3rd and 4th fingers on strings 2nd and 3rd from the top. Here’s the photos.
