Alternate Chord Voicings – Easy Alternatives to Barre Chords

Having trouble playing barre chords? Barre chords like F, C#m, Bm, B and others are more difficult to play than other non-barre chords, and they can sound a bit too "closed off" on acoustic guitar. There are easier, alternate ways to play all of these barre chords, which will sound more open and ring out more freely.

The Alternate Chord Voicings Chart provides several alternate chord voicings for E, F, G, G#m, A, B, Bm, C, C#m, and others for you to easily play them. Even if you are comfortable or prefer barre chords, this reference also provides alternate voicings that you can use to get a different sound, which works great when playing with more than one guitarist.
