Learn how to play the F Minor E Minor Barre chord on the guitar. A minor chord is a three note chord similar to a major chord where the third note has been flattened by a semi-tone. This changes the sound of the chord to what is sometimes described as a "sadder" sound. The E Minor Barre shape is based on the E Minor open chord and is a moveable shape. This means you can move the shape up and down the fretboard to play the major chord with a different root note.
