"Okay, this next barre chord in this segment, we're going to move right along, it's C sharp. Also, it can be known as D flat. At this point I'll get to that later, but at this point, again, same shape. We're doing the first finger being on the ninth fret, which is C sharp, third and fourth fingers on the eleventh fret, second finger on the G, and the remaining two are barred along with the bottom. So the whole chord would sound like this...And if we want to move it down to this position, which would begin on the fourth fret on the A string, which is C sharp, then we'd play it like this and you have that sound. Again, slightly different but the same notes and the same chord. So you can either play it there, and often times people simply play it like this because of the proximity, it just makes it a lot easier to play here. So again, that's C sharp Major barre chord... and that's how it should sound when you play it."
