tricky guitar chord

[joemorris86]

Hey guys, i have been playing guitar for a few months now, and have learnt some basic songs (blink 182 and oasis ones mainly). Im now trying to learn 'move along' by the all american rejects.

and in all the tabs I can find, theres this chord which confused the carp out of me. Is it a mistake? Is this chord possible to play lol?

theres a few more like this aswell in the song, if anyone wants to see a complete tab heres some more.

That's a barre chord. Pretty much a standard in guitar playing. Might be a bit awkward at first. If you can't get the hang of it then you may as well give up on the guitar.

Use you index finger to cover all strings on the 6th fret, then little and ring fingers on the 8th fret, leaving your middle on the 7th fret.

thanks for the explanation, it helped
