This past summer I put together a two page handout for a workshop on Intro to Barre Chord Theory. This printout shows the pattern for the E major, E minor, A major and A minor barre chord shapes. It also provides a chart listing what chord you are playing in any of the first 12 frets, depending on the barre chord shape you are using. Page 2 shows how to group these barre chord shapes together in keys or chord families. This enables a guitarist to see how the major and minor chords in every key relate together.

Here is the Barre Chord Theory Printout.
