Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre Mastery
Complete Your Barre Chord Knowledge with A Shape Mastery
You know how useful it is to know a whole bunch of chords, but…
– It’s tricky to remember all the different shapes
– You find yourself looking up the same chords over and over again
– It’s hard to make sense of chord names like Ebm7b5
– You feel like you keep getting small pieces of the fret board puzzle, but never quite see the full picture
Recognise any of this? I sure saw this happening with my students, a lot. So, I created a course called Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Bar and Beyond. It helps you learn all of this in an easy, structured and fun way.
In Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre and Beyond, you mastered E shape barre chords. Now it’s time to add A shapes to your arsenal.
This course teaches you 96 additional chords based on A shape barre chords: the same 8 essential chord types (major, minor, dominant, seventh chords, and more), but with their root note on the A string instead of the E string.
Here’s what makes this course powerful:
- Learn 96 chords through just a few moveable A shapes that work in all 12 keys
- Master the notes on the A string with fun interactive games
- Practice with 38 real songs across 15 structured lessons
- Final section combines E and A shapes, giving you the ability to play any chord anywhere on the fretboard
By the end of this course, you’ll have complete barre chord mastery – able to play any chord in any position without thinking twice.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre Mastery?
Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre Mastery is the sequel to Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre and Beyond. This course teaches you 96 additional guitar chords, all based on ‘A shape’ barre chords with their lowest note on the A string. Just like in Barre and Beyond, you’re learning a few moveable shapes that work in all 12 keys. The final section of the course combines both E shapes and A shapes, giving you complete mastery of barre chords across the entire fretboard.
What exactly will I learn in this course?
You’ll learn 96 chords based on A shape barre chords, covering the same 8 essential chord types: major, minor, dominant, major seventh, minor seventh, half-diminished, diminished, and power chords. The course teaches you systematic ways to remember these shapes and how they’re connected. You’ll also learn all the notes on the A string through fun, interactive games that make memorization quick and easy. In the final section, you’ll practice combining both E and A shape barre chords, giving you the ability to play any chord anywhere on the fretboard.
Do I need prior experience for this course?
Yes, you should complete Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre and Beyond before taking this course. Barre Mastery builds directly on the E shape barre chords taught in that course and assumes you’re already comfortable with those shapes. This course then adds A shape barre chords and shows you how to combine both systems for complete fretboard mastery.
Why is learning all these chords important?
Knowing these 96 chords transforms your playing by giving you the complete chord vocabulary you need for any musical situation. You’ll learn new songs much faster, immediately play songs your bandmates bring to rehearsal, communicate more easily with other musicians, and confidently write down chords. Most importantly, understanding how chord shapes relate to each other across the fretboard gives you freedom to play anywhere on the neck instead of being stuck in one position.
How long does it take to complete the course?
Most students complete the course in 3 to 5 hours total. For best results, spread the lessons out over several days rather than rushing through. Some people like to practice songs multiple times before moving on, while others work through more quickly. The course automatically tracks your progress, so you can take breaks and pick up exactly where you left off.
How does the course work?
The course uses a 10% explanation, 90% practice approach. You’ll learn through 15 animated videos that explain chord shapes, note positions, and how everything connects. But explanations are just the beginning: you’ll spend most of your time playing your guitar, practicing what you’ve learned in 38 songs. This hands-on approach ensures everything sticks and you can use chords quickly and confidently in real playing situations.
How is this course different from the other Guitar Chord Bootcamp courses?
All Guitar Chord Bootcamp courses are focused on building your chord knowledge systematically, with short explainer videos and real play-along songs.
Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Open Chords teaches 24 essential open chords and is perfect for complete beginners (no barre chords required). Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre and Beyond is the first barre chord course, teaching you 96 chords across all 8 essential chord types with a focus on ‘E shape’ barre chords that unlock the entire fretboard. Guitar Chord Bootcamp: Barre Mastery is the sequel, teaching you 96 chords based on ‘A shape’ barre chords and combining both E and A shapes for complete fretboard mastery.
