Welcome back to my brand new mini-series on how to play barre chords! 🎉 I thought it would be a good idea to start off by addressing the top 5 mistakes I see beginners making when trying to play clean barre chords and how you can fix them. 💪 Of course, there's a lot more that goes into mastering your barre chords, like understanding how they work and learning how to practice them effectively. 🎸 So make sure to stay tuned for episode 2 where I show you the 4 basic shapes that make up all the main barre chords and how you can use them for practice! 🎶 Thank you to Zager guitars for sending me their ZAD80 model to feature in this series. 🙏 If you'd like to check them out, make sure to use my link here: shrsl.com/4dsi2 and thanks so much for watching! 💕

Cant believe this hasn't got 100K+ views yet.. This is the only video that teaches me EVERYTHING to be able to do barre chords after trying it for a month straight.

THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO! I instantly got how to play a barre chord with your tips. I was so close to giving up because ever since I started playing guitar, I always just skipped the songs with barre chords even they are my favorite. It still hurts a bit to play, but I think when I get used to it, it will be fine!

You are totally right! 💯 Just like open chords can be uncomfortable and painful for beginner guitarists, barre chords will feel like that for a while too. 🙈 But as you practice them more and more, you start to build up the calluses you need and strengthen the muscle memory until they feel just as natural as playing open chords. 💪 I'm really glad these tips were helpful for you, and I hope you'll continue to be motivated to play songs with barre chords in them because you can totally do it now!! 🎸🎶💕 Thanks for watching! 🫶

You shouldn't have to! 💪 They definitely take a lot of patience and practice to get down, but it's so worth it to put in the effort because once you unlock barre chords, it really opens up the world of playing more songs and styles of music on guitar! 🎸🎶 Thanks for watching! 🤗💕

happy new year

That 45 degree thing was by far the best advice 🙏😭

It looks like the 1st finger (pointing finger) is actually responsible for fretting 2 strings when barring Bm. You don't really have to hold or fret all 5 strings in that case. What are your thoughts?

@for3v3rfaithful

6 ай бұрын

You are totally correct! 🙌 But if you can get your index finger to lay as straight as possible to get the clearest sound from just the barre, it'll help so much when you're learning other barre chord shapes where your other fingers are in different positions. 🤗 I talk more about it in episode 2 coming out this weekend! 🎸🎶

Hey Ellen umm I was thinking maybe you could Bigger Than My Body by John Mayer please. I hope you accept it. Love your guitar tutorials keep going ❤❤❤

I have toddler sized hands and I’m 16 so it’s really hard to play even though I have really strong hands as I’m also a competitive rock climber. I still can’t do it even though your tutorials easy to do one step at a time but I can’t put it all together.

I suck still :( I finally feel like I have the bar itself down better but then I try to place my other fingers and my bar finger lifts up and messes up the sound

I'm not too horrible at the f chord, the BM I've already perfected. But honestly my wrist hurt so badly after the f chord, and I think I'm holding it wrong?

@for3v3rfaithful

Ай бұрын

Bm and F should have basically the same wrist position, so maybe try moving your fingers slowly one string up from Bm shape to F shape but on the same fret (so basically F#) and see if you can’t pinpoint at what finger or what movement your wrist starts to hurt. 🤔 If it feels the same, it might just be because the F chord is closer to the nut of the guitar and you have to press down harder, causing some wrist pain. If that’s the case, double check that your action isn’t too high. 👍🏼
