Names of the Barre Chords

A chord is named after the bottom note called the root. The root is the principle note on which a chord is built. The E chord is called the E because its root is the E note, as played by an open 6th string (below, left). The Am chord is called Am because it is a minor chord built upon the principal note A, or an open 5th string (below, right).

Similarly, all the barre chords in the shape of an E chord have their root on the 6th string, and they are all named after the note of the 6th string at the fret that your 1st finger barres. The chord up one fret from an E chord is called an F chord, since the 1st finger lies on the 1st fret and the name of the note on the 1st fret of the 6th string is F (below, left). Similarly, if you play the same chord shape at the 5th fret, it is called an A chord because you barre the 5th fret, which has A on the 6th string (below, right).
