Here is the same as above except in the A-shape barre position. The main difference here is that the first finger is slightly lower and not fretting the bass E string, it is actually slightly resting on it to mute the string. Unless the music wants you to play that bass note, you will always mute it and also this position actually makes it easier to barre these chords because you are not having to barre all 6 strings, only 5 (I'm actually fretting a minor chord shape in this picture):



Hope that helps.
