Off course i know the E, Em, A, Am...to barre

but what else?

in other words:

what chords can 'Relatively' easy be barred?

You can use bar chords for all the chords!
But i would also learn the Melody chords plus Power chords,
inside chords ect.
Learn the F Fm G Gm B Bm C Cm D Dm to go along with the,
other chords you know.(You might want to invest in a chord,book for Learning how to build all the chords like Major Minor Diminished Augmented Seventh and countless other chords ! I left out the #=Sharp chords b=Flat chords.

P:S Also if you knew the notes on your guitar you could,
use them to find all the Root notes to your chords (Keys)
ect ect..Note if you click on the little Red house below it,
will take you to my web page where you will find,
in the (Beginner licks & lessons a Link to a Chord Dictionary.(This might save you a few bucks!

i know all chords can be barred in theory...

but it's not always fysically possible...

In a nutshell:

Infinite kinds of chords, but I'll be psycho and try and classify barre chords into 3 types:

E Shaped
A Shaped
C Shaped

Take E Shaped for example. You play an Em "shaped" chord with your first finger barring the 2nd fret...what are you playing? F#min. Because the root (E) was moved up 2 half steps (or one step) to an F#.

Take A for example. You play an Am "shaped" cord with your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers, using your 1st finger to barre the 5th fret. 5 half steps up from A is...
A
A# 1
B 2
C 3
C# 4
D 5

Hence, Dmin.

Sorry to cram it into to a couple short paragraphs, but I hope this helps.

Thank you, skee1 for the clarification. If I answered a question you didn't ask, I'm sorry! Keep on asking and maybe I'll answer when it's not midnight and I'm half awake!
