Here is how to play an "B Major" chord. There are 4 ways to play it.

A "B" Chord is always composed of 3 different notes as long as

its major. B, Eb, and F#. (#=sharp, b=flat) This chord is exactly

the same fingering as an A major chord, but it is a bar chord at

the second fret.

1: The basic B Chord

|-2-|-->This is an F# note.

|-4-|-->This is an Eb note.

|-4-|-->This is the B note.

|-4-|-->Here is an F# note.

|-2-|-->This is another B note in the bass.

|-x-|-->Dont play this string

2: Add a high "Ab" note.

|-4-|-->The F# note that was here before becomes a high Ab note.

|-4-|-->This is the same Eb note.

|-4-|-->And the same B.

|-4-|-->The same F#.

|-2-|-->The same B in the bass.

|-x-|-->Dont play this string.

3: The E-string "B Major" Power Chord. This is one of the many

power chords commonly used in rock music. All E-string major

power chords use this same fingering, so it is important to remember

this fingering. It is also easy to play any power chord because

you will get used to holding your fingers like this.

|-7-|-->This is a high B note.

|-7-|-->This is an F# note.

|-8-|-->This is an Eb note.

|-9-|-->This is a B note.

|-9-|-->This is an F# note.

|-7-|-->Here is the B found in the bass of the regular B chord.

4: The A-string "B Major" Power Chord. Any A-string major power

chord has this fingering as well. That is why power chords are

so easy to play. This chord would be exactly the same as a regular

B major chord because it would have the B note in the bass in the

exact same spot. But since it is exactly the same in that way,

you would just make it an octave higher, going to the fourteenth

fret for the bass (12 frets forward or backward on the guitar

changes the octave.

|-14-|-->This is the high F# note.

|-16-|-->This is an Eb.

|-16-|-->Here is a B note.

|-16-|-->Here is an F# note.

|-14-|-->And a B in the bass.

|-x--|-->Dont play this string.

These are the fundamental "B Major" chords in the guitar world.

You actually can take any combination of the notes B, Eb, and

F# and make a "B Major" chord out of them. But to tell you the truth,

you will never find yourself using any other combination than

the ones shown here. So good luck, and practice the fingering

of these chords. After that they come naturally to you.
