Talk:Barre chord

[edit] Naming

So is it "Barre" or "Bar"? The name of the article should be the same as how they're named in article itself. -albrozdude 23:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC)

They are barre chords. Don't ask me why, they just are. Onsmelly 05:44, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

They are barre chords - they were invented by Martin Barre.192.100.124.219 08:19, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Personal attacks are a bad thing, but can I just say, that is an extremely stupid idea? That barre chords did not exist until the guitarist for a 1960s/1970s progressive art-rock band invented them? You have to be severely ignorant to be able to believe that. It's crazy. Barre chords have been around for centuries. I was just advising someone on the Talk page for "If I Fell" to become aware of musical history prior to rock/pop, and don't assume that everything The Beatles (or Jethro Tull) did was innovative genius. Some of it is absolutely standard. Such as barre chords.

Damn.
