Change of Location[edit]

I've changed the location of Kings Heath, because it isn't located in Warwickshire 193.154.232.4 (talk) 19:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC) Removed West Midlands as it is not necessary - there is only one Birmingham in UK - and it did not exist until 1974. In 1946 Kings Heath was in Warwickshire.[reply]

Barree Chords[edit]

I just want to know whether or not Martin Barre has given the name to the famous Barre chords on guitar?

If not, an interesting coincidence dont you think?

uhm i dont think that the picture on the page right now is Martin Barre, does someone have a pic of him?

Heres a picture, but i dont know how to add it : ( im a noob http://www.martinbarre.com/photos/Image_5.jpg

No, Martin Barre's name has no connection to the barre chord. These chords were used in jazz and are much older than Martin Barre. --TheOverseer4003 03:02, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As a follower of Jethro Tull and Martin Barr, I have to mention it is my understanding that Ian Anderson suggested that Martin change his name from Barr to Barre, like the guitar chord, and also added several middle names to how he introduced Martin ... the Lancelot stuck, but it is not his real name. I can't document that, but it is my understanding ... I read it somewhere. -BruceK —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.111.57.41 (talk) 08:01, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Definitely not, they are called so, because the strings are barred. 193.154.232.4 (talk) 19:01, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Barre's Guitar[edit]

I can't see it very well, but is that a Paul Reed Smith that he's playin'? It seems like that's the way alot of the oldies-but-goodies are swingin' these days. Violanojblues (talk) 02:21, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's an PRS. He uses it on-stage since only a few years. Nowdays half the show PRS, other half Gibson Les Paul.--Snafje (talk) 08:31, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Martin Barre, May 2005: "Anyway, the magazine has rekindled my interest in guitars and I blame it on the recent purchase of three Taylor acoustics and a beautiful PRS electric, which I hope will become my main live instrument. Fender guitars are not my favourite people, as they totally ignored me when they organised the Fender Anniversary Concert in London. I’m not saying I’m worthy of playing on the bill, though many who did were playing other makes of instruments, but I do think a couple of tickets might have been appropriate. Goodbye Fender and thank you Chris Felacio, who is a gentleman, a good guy and Fender inc. don’t deserve him. Anyway the PRS is gorgeous and I actually paid for it in full!"--Snafje (talk) 08:35, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
