How to Play an Alternate Form of a B7 Chord for Blue Christmas on Guitar

This is Bill Macperson for Expert Village. This next chord I'm going to show you is another form of the B7 that I showed you earlier. This is done up here with the bar it gives it a different flavor than this one does. We use it in pretty much spot in the song and I'll show you that in a little while. So the first note is your A string second fret B. The next note is your D string fourth fret F sharp. Now again this is a bar chord, so your next is going to be barred on this fret your G string and then your B string is right below this one on your fourth fret. Again, your high E is barred and that is another B7.
