barré
Guitarist's finger bar
Barré is a guitar technique where a finger presses across multiple strings at the same fret, creating a movable chord shape.
The F major chord is often a guitarist's first encounter with barré: I still can't get a clean barré on the F.
Also spelled barre.
From French, meaning barred.
