How To Not Suck At Barre Chords

Want my help improving your playing?

I can’t get enough pressure on the bony part of my index finger to stay pressed hard enough when I’m using my three other fingers and so far my brain is defeated

[tiberiian]

💯 I've had this issue for so long. It takes a mental leap to allow the shoulder to drop.

Oh my days, finally, I almost played an A barre chord because of this vid. Thank you!!!!

[ItzaJerm]

Not sure i understand the instruction here. The idea of the weight of the arm to press the strings, just doesn't make sense to me. Starting to wonder if the action of my strings are to high.

[butterflywing]

Never even thought about this. Will try it for sure thanks!

[ghevisartor]

i cant, with just the index finger, the b and g string doesn't ring unless i squize with the thumb and push the neck out with my right arm pressing on the guitar

When l was a kid back in "1980" l had my hand crushed between two pieces of steal after a snapped cable, and needless to say l have a hard time with Barr chords, I'm ankshus to see it work's 🎸

I don't have a problem with barre chords if they are on the 3rd or the 5th fret. But higher barre chords seem impossible to play.

My problem with barre chords is that when i try to do the chord my fingers are bending in ways making me confused l

I thought barre chords were impossible before this vid. Thanks bro

A tiny tip I just noticed for boney fingers. When your index finger cant quite squeeze a string or two for the full bar, you can kinda push or pull or finger back and forth. Itll feel like your trying to roll/ a pencil or straw up and down your fingers (like 🤌 -🫰) really fast but with the guitar neck/strings. Hope this helps 🤷‍♂️

I naturally do this because I'm lazy 😅😅😂

[lukah]

damn man this helped instantly, thanks so much! I have been playing the wrong way until now, I feel dumb...

I never seen Guitar tutorial mentions the angle you hold your guitar; Don't Angle it! your wrist will be in pain... Plus, it'll be easier to do barre chords, if you don't angle your guitar..

[severinagita]

keep in mind that sometimes it's a issue in the playability of the guitar and not your fault

String gauge, action, form and practice is what it takes in my opinion.

[tonebank]

fretting notes is not pressing on the strings, it's moving the nut.

I was inspired so I've been playing for 2 hours
Now my wrist feel destroyed I hope this will help

[JonasCraftUltimate]

Lol no way in hell I could do this on my acoustic, and the action isn’t even that bad

[guchitasso]

Problem is my fingers are super short 😂
