The in-plane appearance of barred galaxies is formed in either of two ways: 1) the usual bar-mode instability in a fast rotating disk forms a fast bar, while 2) the radial orbit instability (or its modifications) leads to a slow bar. The vertical structure depends on the universal mechanism of the bending instability both in fast and slow bars. Among all the relevant topics, I chose (i) a critical review of the work on the bending instability, and (ii) some comments concerning the local and global stability criteria for non-axisymmetric disturbances in galactic disks; in particular, a new approximate local dispersion relation for a star disk is presented. Also shown is a range of accuracy for the intuitional global criterion of the slow bar instability of the Ostriker-Peebles type (on the example of the exactly-solved model).
