Learn 3 Easy Patterns to Play B Chord on Guitar

B Chord and B7 Guitar Chord | How to play Guitar B chord
(3 Easy Procedure to understand B and B7 Chord on Guitar)

Want to learn B chord on Guitar?

If you want to learn How to play B chord correctly on guitar then you are at right place!!!

 In this post we are not only going to discuss playing B chord on guitar but we will also check different formation and pattern to play the B chord on guitar and B chord variation like B7 guitar chord pattern and how to play B7 guitar chord. Till the end of this post you will have the understanding of all discussed B chord guitar patterns and you can also decide the relevant B chord pattern to play on guitar for yourself based on your expertise level.

To know how B chord developed I will recommend to go through “Guitar Chords and Position Techniques”. As this post not only explains you the actual technique of how Guitar B chord is formed but also give you a thought to identify and build all chords by your own.

YES, there is a special technique by which we can build any chord correctly if we know 2 basic Open Chords correct such as Chord A and Chord E on guitar.

You are checking post on B chord or B7 guitar chord so I am assuming you have already gone through Guitar basic Chords.

To play B chord and its variation like B7 guitar chord on Guitar you should know how to put Bar (Barre) at Fret on Guitar. Let’s quickly first learn to put Bar.

Putting Bar (Barre) correctly on Guitar (B Chord or B7 Guitar Chord):

Well please follow the procedure given below,

1.        first of all place your left hand thumb at the down side of the back of fretboard and then put your index finger on the fret so that it can reach to the last thick string.

2.       Put little pressure on the entire strings and place bar just besides (left) the fret separator.

3.       Now twist your finger a bit to the left side and then apply small pressure again.

4.       This twist or roll is required since your finger front is always soft and so you cannot put bar from the fleshy part of the finger. Finger side is harder than the finger front and hence we always putting bar from the side of finger.

5.       After following above given procedure make sure that your index finger is positioned at just left side of the Fret separator now.

6.       Pluck all strings one by one and check if they are sounding okay.

Remember, you don’t need to overlap the fret wire (Fret separators). Index finger should be placed near fret separator to close all loops correctly.

Initially you will face trouble but keep practicing putting bar (Barre) will help you to place and play it correctly after couple of days. As required finger muscle strength will also improve by the time with practicing it.

B Chord in Guitar:

There are multiple patterns available to play B chord on Guitar.

1.       B Chord with A major chord pattern with bar (Barre).

2.       B Chord with E major chord Pattern with bar (Barre).

3.       B7 Guitar Chord pattern on Guitar for beginners.

Playing B chord  on Guitar in an A major guitar chord formation you will be playing the chord in lower frets and to play B chord in an E major chord formation you will be playing the chord in higher frets. So sound of both of them is same however their pitch will differ. 

Here B chord with A major formation will have lower pitch and B chord with E major formation will have higher pitch.

1.    A Major Pattern of B Chord on Guitar

This B chord pattern will be done by putting Bar on second fret by your index finger and rest of the finger will be forming A major chord pattern in terms of picking strings (middle finger on forth string forth fret, Ring  finger on third string forth fret and pinky finger on second string forth fret).

B chord formation is shown in the image below,

Fig. Representation of B Chord with A chord pattern

Remember, not to strum sixth string in this B chord pattern. You try to strum string 5^th to string 1^st and vice versa only.

2.       B Chord with E Major Chord Pattern of Guitar

This B chord pattern will be formed by putting Bar on seventh fret by your index finger and rest of the finger will be forming E major chord pattern in terms of picking strings (middle finger on third string eighth fret, Ring finger on fifth string ninth fret and pinky finger on forth string ninth fret).

B chord formation on guitar is shown in the image below,

3.    B7 Guitar Chord for Beginners

This one is for beginners as this pattern holds all root notes to make it B chord so there should not be any problem in playing B7 guitar chord instead for B chord for beginners (But not always, once you gain experience then shift to correct B chord pattern). 

You can try this chord to replace B chord (if you find those difficult to correctly play) but this is for fresh beginners only. Remember, not to play sixth string while strumming on B7 Guitar Chord.

Fig. Representation of B7 Guitar Chord 

Sometimes we need to specifically used B7 guitar chord based on song requirement since both B chord and B7 guitar chords are finally different B chords Right!!!

We can say for beginners B7 guitar chord is an good alternative of B chord wherever suitable however for a expert Guitarist B7 guitar chord is actually a completely different chord of B chord family.

Please try to play B chord and B7 guitar chord patterns on guitar as explained above in the post and comment if you are facing any issue in playing after couple of tries.

Finally, I would like to recommend you to check lesson “Guitar Chords and Position Techniques” to build you basics on Guitar chord building. This lesson is must watch and will help you many different ways also, easy to understand.
