Newbie Guitar Barre Chord Ques ..?

[Robert]

I am just wondering, I am just starting off doing the barre chord w/ E major shape - it is moveable. So does this mean all open chords are moveable the same - that all open chords have barre shapes ...
Is there anywhere I can get a look at all the barre chords? Any sites you can give greatly appreciated...
and thank you all in advance ...

Back when I was learning guitar, my music teacher told me about CAGED and ADE, which refer to the main moveable guitar chords. CAGED (the notes) are the major ones, and ADE are the minor ones. Here are some helpful sites:
http://www.theguitarsuite.com/Theory/Moveable-Chords.html
http://www.guitar-music-theory.com/caged-chords/
http://www.guitarlessons.com/guitar-lessons/caged-minor-guitar-chords.php

one thing these sites don't mention I think are C7 moveable chords. Just make a C7 shape, and move it up, and strum only the four strings you're fretting.

You can do all chords in bar, not that its very proficient, but it can be done.

Yes all chords are movable.

There are only four chords that are usually barred- E shaped, Emin shaped, A shaped and Amin shaped.

Sometimes you'll see C shaped barre chords but that's rare.
