Great tips Justin! Barre chords definitely tricky for me...but they won't get any better by themselves!🙏🏻

Great guitar teacher in the world this is called honestly with music❤️

Recently instead of taking my second finger off I've been putting on the string above. Helps keep the pinkie finger rounded and the grip good so no muddy note on the third string.

I've already pretty much mastered the E major bar chord as well as the A major and minor bar chords, and I need to learn the E minor bar for a Dead Milkmen song I'm learning so I guess I'll finally have to tackle this one lol!

I learned barre chords MANY years ago. What a difference it makes! The chord that kills me the most is the open B7. SO many Beatles songs use that one. Also "Bus Stop" uses it. I typically just play a B chord instead.

There was a time when I was really into playing Jack Johnson songs which were almost all barre chords 😁

Very practical tips. Who else teaches that. Thanks Justin.

Great video This reiterated what I’ve been practicing. I’ve been working on doing hammer ons and pull offs during my Barr chords. Having that first finger remaining independently is the key

I've been trying to play Minor Barre Chords for ages. The G string is always muted. My mate who has played guitar for 60 years said 'Have a word with Percy. Percy Verence'.

I'm getting there but ouch...I got some cramps. Thanks Justin, always devoted 🎶🎶🎶

Dammmnnnn this is what i asked for..love u buddy

[subhanmohsin]

Hi sir I have a question do you know percussive fingerstyle and percussive strumming can you make a course on it please

[yinghanpatrick]

Hey Justin, no matter how I press the g string down, it doesn’t ring out and when I try to reposition my finger it goes too high or too low. Would there be reason why this is happening?

[minerfinger]

I am only able to play bar chords by putting my finger too far above (minor chords mostly), so is it no good?

[alansimpson]

I had that songbook too maybe everybody in the world did lol

[kryddan]

You are simply lifting the "Johnny Cash finger" :) Thank you for these videos. Been struggeling with these barre chords for ages. Specially when I move around playing B (on A string fret two) and then A (sixth string fret five) for example. All fingers BUT the Johnny Cash finger goes in place directly. That bothers me.

Im 3 weeks into trying to play this shape and i just cant, press as hard as i can, try 100 different minor adjusts and the g string just buzzes or muted.
My thumb hurts and i want to give up

[IroquoisPliskin]

When I play barre chords, it makes my thumb hurt really badly pressing on the back of the neck. Does that go away, or is it because I have bad technique?

[Dima-jcfx]

This is all fine, now the A-shape are tough... have to press very hard and get wrist pain after them :(
