What is the easiest way to chord B major ?

hi

What is the easiest way to play B major chord using all 6 strings?
I mostly use ebgd strings only..
Is the barrey method easier or the
one using thumb in the E and A strings easier ?

 

use ur index finger to barr e(lower)A and E...covering the entire 2nd fret..use ur ring finger(is that what its called?) to barre b g d..on the 3rd fret...thats how i play it..

u can also use..middle finger,ring finger and ur pinky to press.b g d

 

Ya I am actually following this barre pattern only..
But actually
one frnd of mine was advicing me a different pattern
which is
using ur thumb covering E and A strings along with middle,ring and the last finger(is that its called ?) for D,G and B strings and index finger at e string...

I am findng it pretty difficult..
Does any of u follow this pattern ..? If yes then which one is easier ?
I want ur opinions guys..

 

use the way..u feel comfortable with...

 

To learn a chord, stick to what u can play easily, and are most comfortable with.

BTW, for a Bmaj using all the 6 strings, barre the 7th fret of the 6th string (E), and fingers holding 9th frets of 5th, 4th and 8th fret of 3rd strings respectively...

 

:nw::nw:

I agree wid asmodeus>>

 

7th fret..absoultely easiest way .. righ asmo... :rock:

 

the two barre shapes at the 2nd and 7th fret are the only way so take your pick. there is no open shape for B major, though there is one for B7.

 

B is played both on 2nd fret and 7th Fret..as said above...
but u cant play B only on 7th..
u shd also be able it play it on 2..
not all the time shd that be played on7th

 

exactly. the thing to see is that when you are changing to the B chord, where exactly on the fretboard you are. if you are nearer to the 2nd fret opt for that shape and likewise for the 7th fret.

 

try this

e-x---
b-7---
g-8---
d-9---
a-9---
E-x---

:

 

use index finger & advise ur frnd 2 do the same

u can learn how to cover E & A strngs with ur thumb but dont make it a habit - bcos tho u can play barres this way it'll cramp ur other finger movemnts 4 sure - check it 4 urself & see

also when u want 2 shift ur fingers up/down the fretboard, keepin th thumb anchored in a barre isnt gonna help

 

use capo on da 2nd fret...but i have one friendly advice for u dude ...tryin to play that chord without capo.....coz there are so many flat chords in guitar where u have to hold them as they are ......keep practicing ur instrument ...n ull b fyne with b flat

 

Hmm.. I liked the inverted chord position...
