Barre Chords - acoustic
# 1
Of course I do. Why wouldn't you? There is no reason to limit yourself simply because it's an acoustic.

Sure. If not, I would have to avoid almost every song with an F-major in it. :D Heck, I was doing barres' on an acoustic before I did them on an electric. Yeah, yeah, I know that's backwards but what can I say?

to me the barres are easier on the acoustic than the electric. why is that?
speaking of barres, can someone point me to me some music that utilizes barres (think beginner here). I need something to practice my barres to other than just up and down the board one at a time. LOL

Barre chords; once you master them, the guitar is your musical oyster.
The song I played to really get the hang of Barre chords was "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz (since this song had just come out when I started playing).

I'd check out d'yer maker by Zepp. The whole main riff is based off of barre chords, and one other riff IS barre chords if iI remember correctly.

Playing anything on electric requires a different technique to control the amplified ringing of notes (including any unwanted notes) compared to acoustic techniques.
A good song to practice using barre chords is the Intro of Boston's "Peace of Mind"
C#m, A, E, B
Another is Bob Dylans' "Lay Lady Lay"
A, C#m, G, Bm

The final riff to Stairway to Heaven is a barred Am, G, and F chords. over and over again. It's good practice for sliding up and down the fretboard.

remeber you can always take a song with open chords and change them to bar chords. understand that there are many diferent voicings for chords, basically how the notes are arranged. so instead of playin open c majour chord, play the a majour shape with the bar on the 3rd fret. or instead of playin open G, play the e maj chord shape with the bar on the third fret. or instead of D majour play the a majour shape with the bar on the fith fret.
u get the idea
hope this helps
