Billionaire is a great barre chord workout.
These look like the correct tabs: http://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/t/tr...e_ver8_crd.htm Here's a vid of Bruno Mars singing it (warning, F-word used in verse): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwlK5b4KYfI JD |

I know you've talked a little bit about getting into the blues and I picked up something kind of nice the other day. One of my blues books showed a nice easy I-IV-V moveable chord progression.
Long story short, the book liked to use all 7th chords but obviously you can use what you want. Say your playing in the key of A and start out with an A7 chord at the 5th fret (using the E7 shape, 5-7-5-6-5-5). Then you can move to a IV chord by keeping your barre on the 5th fret and dropping to an A7 chord shape and playing a D7 chord (this would be X-5-7-5-7-5). Then all you have to do to play the V in your I-IV-V progression is move your A7 shape up to the 7th fret and that will give you an E7 chord (which would be X-7-9-7-9-7). So basically your A7, D7 and E7 chords (I-IV-V) are all right there. You can use majors, minors or 7ths or what have you and mix up your strumming and progression all you want. If you want to play in the key of G, just start out back at the 3rd fret and follow the same type pattern. It will give you a G, C and D chord (another I-IV-V pattern) pattern. Does this make any sense or did you already know this stuff? Just figured it might help because you can practice all the E and A chord barre shapes you want and just jam on your own and go where ever you want to go. The times that I've had the most fun on the guitar are when I just start strumming and playing on my own. Once I figured out the whole chord progression deal, it really opened up my playing since I knew which chords worked together depending on which key I wanted to play out of.

Jammin' by Bob Marley, it's what I learnt barres from. Fair enough it only has the E shape chords but it gets you switching from open chords to barres at speed.
Only 4 chords as well: Bm (barre) E which changes into E7 G F sharp major (barre) Then in the verses it goes: Bm (barre) E Bm (barre) E G F sharp major (barre) Plus then you can do a cool reggae strum with mutes and string slaps. Great fun to play. |

Sorry I don't have any good youtube vids to share at the moment. However, I'm going to start spending 75% of my time on studying/playing blues so if I come across anything (that isn't done by Marty) I'll be sure to pass it on. |

I think the first barre chord song I learned was 'Faith' by George Michael. Can be played with any 1,5,7 but I usually play it A (577655) - D(x57775) - E (x79997)

Try "Walk Don't Run", or at least the intro.

If you want to practice switching from barre chords and back, Like a rolling stone by Dylan isnt a bad choice.
