I have a question can you do a tutorial video for the Halo 2 soundtrack Reclaimer I can't find anything on KZread or Google for it. The only thing that is there is the audio. The soundtrack was composed by Marty O Donnell, Michael Salvatori and Steve Vai.

This is easy. Just learn to move your capo fast.

There's so many songs I would look at playing and then come across a barre chord and say "no." I forced myself to play the F in Hotel California (thanks for that lesson Marty!) as a barre chord and after playing it a hundred times I finally started getting it.

That’s how you do it. You force yourself to do it. You play it over and over again in a progression and you will definitely get it. Marty said “Don’t avoid them!”

Uhm I’m very possibly wrong , I usually am 😜 , but I think you mean F#..... unless your speaking of another part of the song that I’m not familiar with ( there are many lol)..... but the way I was taught and think Marty teaches that way to if my memory serves is Bm, F#M, A,E,G,D,Em, back to F#M to lead back start it all over again at Bm.

I've only been playing guitar for five months. After some practice -- I can make the f-barre chord shape now with little hesitation -- although the B string still doesn't ring out. But I'm not worried. I remember the days when it took me two minutes just to get my fingers set. I know eventually everything will come together. Edit: I’ve been playing for two years now and the idea of not being able to play barre chords seems like a foreign concept. They are beginner chords in my mind now. Never give up.

They’re definitely tricky especially when you start stretching your fingers and play something that doesn’t sound nice

The spray noises are the most important part I think. Its a must.

“You gotta play it bad... eventually... little less bad” As Marty pulls his hand from his guitar and has a one on one with it. Your hand responds, priceless!!!

A absolute king providing the free resources from learning guitar, if marty music wasn’t here, I would of never gave guitar another go

The best video on Barre chords I have seen. Showing how the elbow position changes so much and how it affects the index finger alignment seems so easy, but no one ever goes to that level of detail. Thanks Marty!

You just improved my "Barre" chords in seconds cause I can spell them correctly now!

Due to injuring my elbow I can't rotate my wrist as flat (supination) so some chords were very hard. I found that barre chords were much easier when I used a strap and played standing up. This allows me to rotate the guitar at an angle to my torso and also have the headstock higher. This is a really great tip to check the alignment of your elbow to your wrist when working on barre chords. Also, forcing yourself to use them in a musical context is the only way to really get good at them. When I'm jamming I can get away with the hendrix style chords that are the most comfortable to play, but other peoples songs often require a certain voicing that isn't always available. Barre chords really do open up the neck.

i agree, barre chords are much easier when you are playing standing up, since the guitar can be angled more.

So well explained. Great to see REAL basics of playing explained with simple clarity. Top stuff Marty!

I'm doing the course on barre chords and it's fantastic. Deep explanations into what's going on. Breaks it down into small steps. Pure Marty. Thanks for this.

Always sharing great knowledge Marty, thanks a lot and greetings all the way from Mexico !!

This is such a nice complement to your Barre Chord Lesson! Thanks Marty you are the one

Excellent instructions! Thank you

Just wanted to thank you so much marty! I've been following you since January this year and thanks to you I've learned a ton and progressed quite fast. I got barre chords down when I learned sultans of swing (great job on those tutorials btw) but I figured It couldn't hurt to watch this. This video did help me alot with the harder barre chords so thanks! Keep up the great work!

Great tips from a great teacher!! Thank you sir!!

Ah I see the problem now, I need to go get a Gibson to be able to improve my Barr chords. Cheers

Marty, I have been playing guitar for 5 years, and I watch your videos from learning a new song to Just simply going back to the basics. Bro you have completely changed the way I play and I am so thankful for you and your lessons, keep doing what you do and know that you got a good student out of it and a fan.. KEEP ROCKING ON !!!!!

Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Marty! Always can trust watching a video from you and learning something.

Been watching you for a year now...just bought the lifetime...can't say I regret it one bit! You're my top guy! I have been struggling with the dreaded Barre Chords, hoping this helps me.

Love how Marty teaches things on the guitar I've been playing guitar since I was 10 now 67 I am a better guitar player now that I've ever been thanks to Marty's videos. I have learnt 50 songs from different things he has showed my newest song I learned to play was runaway Del Shannon a lot of the things he talks about I taught myself from watching people play in band and he breaks things down and makes it much easier then having books and going to a guitar instructor. Keep up the great work Marty you should show on one of your videos how to play ain't talkin about love my Van Halen I got a little of it worked out on my own but need help. Keep up the great videos, 🎸🎸🎸

He’s the best isn’t he Out of all the online tutors he is the only one who instills me with confidence and to never give in Top man ! Top teacher

Oh my god, thank you so much. I'm a casual guitarist and I've been playing for a long time. I've been avoiding anything further down the neck because I can't seem to do any barre but B and F. When you gave the tip to pull a little back on the neck, I immediately tested it out and it sounds so much better.

Marty, I started playing guitar earlier this year at the ripe age of 30. I can’t thank you enough for your teaching methods - by a mile the best guitar tutorials on KZread. I have progressed in the past 6/7 months so much more than I thought I ever could and the majority of my learning has come from your videos. I hope you know how much you have influenced me and countless others. You are a legend my friend please never stop teaching ❤

A much needed one!!! you're the best as always 👍👍

man i love this guys energy!! i already like this video more than the others lol

Thanks, Marty! I've been struggling with bar chords for like 3 months. Hope this vid helps

Marty your GREAT. You hit the nail on the HEAD with this lesson. Coming across this video help at my 57yrs I have picked up the ax again the one huge problem I have is barring and in the video you just showed me what I needed to do thank YOU I have to go and put your explanation to some good use I would love for you to do a video on fingering and reading problems for older people that would be an awesome video and if you did I will find them but if you didn't I'll look for them Marty you have improved my playing 100% even though it's still at the terrible stage please explain everybody what you been explaining that is going to sound shity at first for a while but they will find it rewarding believe me

Learning barre chords now. Really helpful and encouraging tips here. Thanks!!!

By far the best guitar lessons of KZread. You’ve taught me everything I know.

Super helpful video Marty, thank you so much for sharing with us!

The tip on the elbow position is gold! Thank you Martin.

I started to play guitar 6 months ago thanks to this channel , the first 3 months I learned fast then …. I met the bar chords… I had to come back to this channel and man this shoulder position trick is a life saving one , thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thanks Marty. Been struggling for a while and starting to get better. This helped!

Thanks for this Marty, I remember I was watching a tutorial, forgot what song but you mentioned that no matter what just play the barre chords, even if they sound crappy. Been practicing and now 7/10 I get the b minor chord perfectly. I love you Marty

The elbow tip has helped me so much. I now have a fighting chance of playing a Bm or an F most of the time. Thank you.

I might humbly add ... 1) Using a capo will dramatically reduce the finger strain needed to perform barre chords. It is a great training asset. 2) There is no shame in using your strumming hand to physically move your fretting fingers into their new positions for a while. Will-power and wish-power just aren't enough at first.

Watching this video was a really big help, thanks

Excellent lesson. Thank you!

Best online instructor ever because you take your time and are truthfull.

Best lesson I've watched on barre chords, and I've been watching a few. Thanks so much,

Great class from a great teacher..

Yooooo thanks Marty! I’ve been playing for years now and haven’t perfected my barre chord ever even though it improved over time. But this is just the cherry on top which made all my strings rung out nicely :)

Really helpful. Thanks Marty !

Just when I needed it the most Marty! Thanks man!

Sooo crazy good lesson! unbelievable that those simple tricks with your arm position can make so huge difference. I feel it directly after watching this vid. Thank you Marty, no i go back and practise all these things! Have a great day.

I needed exactly this. Thank you!

This helped me over a hump more than any other advice all week, thank you very much!

Another helpful and awesome guitar tutorial. It really helped me so much as a guitar beginner. Thank you for sharing

i want to thank you for making the videos, and the programs for free! this particular skill i've been working on, and one thing you taught here about pulling the neck towards you a bit to give that strength, did the trick for me! i've done everything else, and couldn't get the high two strings especially the b to ring clear i pressed so hard! but that tip did it for me, saves my hands too, don't need to press any harder just that tip. so big thanks!

Thanks my guy! This is a godsend. I have had a guitar for over a year now, but just started trying to seriously learn some basics. You have no idea how restrictive avoid Barre chords can be. Time to practice my c minor for dixieland delight

This is excellent training. I always have a short hesitation getting my fingers into position on bars. This is going to really help. Thanks

Elbow placement helped me out SO much. Thx !!

This is very helpful, thank you!

that elbow adjustment HELPED!!!!!!

Learning bar chords and the notes of the top E and A string is priceless it's like the first step being able to comfortably play with other musicians and actually use music speak like this tune is a A to G progression and so on.. I know it was the first time I started to not sound like a complete noob at jam sessions which always makes playing with others and having self confidence

I learn so much from this channel.

the elbow thing is SO helpful thank you

Marty, you need to do a ... here is where I started playing guitar, and how I ended up here today. We need to hear the backstory on you. The way you pick up someone's guitar and just absolutely blow them away is amazing (look at Beato's face and the owners of every Memphis guitar shop you visit). Give up the goods on the Marty!

Thank you Marty for what you do. I have learned so much from your videos in this guitar journey of mine. I'm still pretty new, just started in 2017. With all of life's obligations I don't get a lot of time for practice. But thanks to your videos I am slowly making progress. You rock, man \m/ keep up the good work!

I seriously like the way you teach. Thank you

that elbow trick did it for me!you the man marty!

Marty that was and is clear and well taught with patience. THank you 🎸🕺🏾😎

Great recommendations thank you

Been struggling finding a way to do barres since I picked up the guitar last summer. Awesome vid!

Your method seems to be the best one. It worked out for me. Thanks Marty!!!

This is 100% what i needed to hear. thank you very much

Thanks for your hardworking

I had so much trouble with barre chords. thank you Marty!

your so grateful mr.Marty. Appreciate your work 🙏🏻

Amazing. Been on and off with learning guitar (mostly off) for about 20 years. Always hit a wall (F and B) and stopped playing. After following the chapters in Martys course on Barr Chords I've finally got them. For some reason they just click and can now play them. Don't what I'm doing different to how I've tried it in the past, but can't thank you enough, cheers dude!

thank you for making a video on this i needed it!

You are an absolute master marty 🙏🙏🙏 your lessons are first class

Thanks so much Marty!

i am waiting for this video for long time thanks ♥️

Thanks Marty, that's a great lesson

Gosh I needed this. Thanks my man!

Marty,... you're awesome, buddy. Keep up the good work. I love your style, & as soon as Mom gives me my allowance this month, I'm signing up for the whole show.

That was really enjoyable. Nice one Marty 👍

Marty, I first picked up a guitar and searched up guitar lessons for beginners and I found year videos and you are very helpful, and you are very specific on what to do which I loved when learning, then I found out that barre chords were actually a thing, I thought it was just open chords, then I tried barre chord, and it sounded crappy and did not understand why, then I searched up barre chords and found your video and you helped me understand it so well, I did not hide from them and never gave up and got better. I just want to thank you for your lessons :)

Thanks man that's a great lesson and I think it's not getting any easier than it is keep on the good work and Thanks again

man just subbed in your channel after nothing else matters lesson and your delivery is amazing you are very fundamental which is the most important thing in anything great vid

Thank you for the elbow hint about half the time I was getting the twang on several strings. This cleared up a lot thanks!

Hey Marty, thank you for the lesson on how to improve barre chords. Greatly Appreciated!!

Thanks for helping 💕

I think another point on barre chords is get a good guitar with nice action. Because you’ll find yourself getting a lot of cramp having to push down so hard to barre them. I have muscle strength just from my Yamaha F310, but I went and bought a Eastman E1D and the action and guitar is just so much better. so if you have a pretty cheap guitar it’s great to learn on but you have to realise buying a better guitar will certainly help things move forward. At least in my experience!

I agree. Low nut action is key and this is why most people think F barre chord is so difficult but the same shape up on the 7th fret is far easier.

Very helpful. Thank you.

Amazing! Thank you!

omfg... I love you so much dude haha. Gigantic thank you. Ive been struggling with barre chords and swearing at nothing for ages. This has given me a big boost in terms of focus.

It took me too many years to realize that I don't have to play all strings at a time to make a chord.

Very helpful cheers !
