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

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
