whats the easiest way to play a b chord? I can never get a clear b bar chord. And aside from e shape on the 8th fret are there any other tricks?
I assume you mean the A bar shape in general. Some people will disagree with me, but I've found that it's nearly always fine if the high E string is muted on those. But if you must have that note, moving up the neck for an E-shaped bar is usually a good solution.
You could try it on the second fret and fret it like Neil does with an A chord(the three fingers not in a row),,for me I think the best way is flatting out the fingers but that cost an year or two before it sounds clean on all the strings...the easy way is on the 7 !!! fret.

Thanks Willem... where is the weekly news wrap up? If I got it on email I may have accidentally deleted it. Is it on the site somewhere?
