Well, there's good songs like Hotel California that get you to switch between E form and A form barre chords--good stuff.

There's an old one that I learned that helped me play continuous E form barres. It would work just as well for the A form barres.

Freedom (by Bread)

G, Bb, C, F, F#

All using the E form barre.

Change the key and use the A form barres for the song.

C, Eb, F, Bb, B

Cheers to both of you. I rather stupidly didn't think of playing the much used chords like G as a barre chord. Now that I know I can do that I can experiment with lots of progressions and songs. I've been doing Kirk's Pachelbel lesson which has a couple of different shaped Barres and my speed of chord change is definitely improving, although I keep reminding myself that accuracy is King and the speed will progressively improve with every hour of practice, practice, practice! all the best Ed
