OK, we've come to A Flat7, or G Sharp 7 – same chord. We're going to take an E7 shape, I'm going to move it so I have my first finger free. And in this case we're going to move it to the 4th fret. So my barre's at the 4th, I have an E7 shape here. This is now G Sharp 7 or A Flat 7. And then I can also use an A form of that. So here's an A 7 chord, right. Some people make it with their 1st and 2nd finger, some people make it with their 2nd and 3rd finger. But for the barre we need to use our ring finger and pinky. And we're going to move this shape all the way up here to the 11th fret. That's where G Sharp is, or A Flat. So here's my barre at the 11th, what looks like an A7 chord. This is G Sharp 7 or A Flat 7 as a barre chord.
