All Bar chord songs needed.

G'day All and happy new year to everyone.

I need some help to find songs to learn that only use bar chords, now I know this sounds like I'm really determent to improve my bar chords but the truth is I have injured the tip of my index finger so I'm unable to press down on the strings , but I can bar them , So I may as well make the most of a sore finger as my bar chords do need a lot of work.

Now I know I could search through all of the lessons and eventually find some songs but my finger would probably be mended before I eventually find some due to the incredible amount of lessons Neil and the gang keep putting up.

So my hope is that some of you may already have stumbled across some all bar songs.

Thanks

Cheers
Scott

Melissa by The Allmann Brothers also has LOTS of barre chords though, like Sister Golden Hair, isn't exclusively comprised of barre chords.

Scott, Sister GH is the one that springs to mind but really, grab any 4 or 5 chord tune and instead of open chords play it with Barres. Easy mate.

Take any song and play it with barre chords instead of opens.

'Steal my Kisses' by Ben Harper is all barres and a great funky song. It's not a Target lesson though.

The chorus to 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' is all barres too.

Have fun.
