I just wanted to know what the most commonly used barred chords are...

i already knew the E and A shaped barre chords, because they very much resemble the powerchords...WHO DOENS'T KNOW THOSE?!?!?!

I have a question about the C shaped barre chord:

the C shaped barre chord is quite new for me, but isn't it a Aminor shaped barre chord???

if so...you have these 3 kinds:

- Eminor
- Amajor
- Aminor

Is this all? are these all the chords that are mostly used when barring?

No its not an Am shaped bar chord!
Ok if you bar useing your index finger right next,
to the nut on the guitar at the first fret then ,
make the C shape by useing your second,third and,forth,
fingers you will have a Db=D flat major chord,
then if you move it up the fret-board 1 fret=half-step
Then you have a D major chord ect.
And in answer to your question is this all no its,
not all you still need sus4ths 7ths major7ths 6ths 9ths plus,countless others useing the shapes you already know!
I recemend you getting a book that shows you,
how to build chords plus also learn the notes on your,
guitar plus learning the C scale would help you plus,
a little music theory from Christoph in the music theory,
forum would really help trust me.(He's a great guru!
