Hi there,

Choosing to play a barre or non barre chord is up to how the song is intended to be played. Some songs call for it, some don't. It's also totally okay to adjust your chords when learning a song as well, give your own spin on it.

Sometimes, as a beginner guitar player, barre chords can be tough to play on a song, so it's also okay to play a non-barre version just to get some fingers down.
