B Major Guitar Chord

Today's Guitar Chord of the Day is B Major. The Bmaj Guitar Chord can be played in several different ways, today we're looking at a couple of inversions that are useful for beginners.

The first version uses a barre across the second fret. To play this inversion lay the side of your first finger just behind the second fret, the remaining fingers are free to hold down the D, G and B strings at the fourth fret.
