WOW, amazing what a difference this instantly makes! Reminds me of one of the core principals of yoga which teaches an awareness that our body is not a bunch of isolated parts, but rather one big, interconnected system. I've been asking my thumb to do it all when it should be a full body experience. Its so simple but so powerful! My mind is blown! Thank you!!!

Holy f***! I’ve been playing for 22 years now and you’ve shattered my barre game. Thank you so much!!!! 🙏🏼✨

You forgot to tell people this technique requires a bit of finesse. If you pull your guitar like that you make the neck bend backwars which will make your chord go sharp depending how much u pull. Sometimes you see some guitarists do it as a vibrato effect by pulling on the neck. So the advice I could give is to practice to do this technique with the least amount of effort to make the barre chord ring out nicely. That will be the point where you dont pull too hard but still can make the chord sound clean.

HOLY SHIT THIS IS THE BEST GUITAR VID ADVICE I GOT SO FAR, it’s hard because you can never tell people are doing this by just watching vids

This was actually insane thank you

@TheSchoolOfGuitar

Sweet! Glad you find it useful :)

For me it’s harder to play barre cords because the middle strings don’t vibrate unless I have other fingers on the frets up further from my Barr finger. Like barre A cord is harder than a B barre

Dude, thank you so so so much, I’ve been trying to play a barre chord for like, 3 weeks. I finally got it.

Great tip to make everything you play sound sharp 😂

I've been trying to learn for the longest time and no one ever taught me this INSTANTLY after this I got clear sound out of my barre chord THANK YOU

It actually felt easy and not life threatening after using this tip haha , thank you !

For years ive either figured out a different way to play songs, or avoided them completely because of how much my hand cramps up from playing barre chords, im hoping this can change that, thanks for the help

@TheSchoolOfGuitar

Ай бұрын

Yeah I hear ya, here are 3 more things that could help your hand cramps: 1. Use lighter strings to begin (10 gauge) 2. Learn the G major barre chord first 3. Put a capo on the 1st fret to add some extra pushing onto the strings.. ..then do this video exercise, and piece by piece work on it, remove the capo when you feel ok to do so. These will help build small wins but build up bigger belief. You got this. Get on it and drop me an email at dave@theschoolofguitar.com in 30 days to let me know your progress. You got this!

Appreciate these details, thank you.👍

Saved me from getting carpal tunnel thank you!!!

Sweet! Love seeing these comments, so glad it helped!

Thanks for your knowledge

This helped me so much, I also figured out that turning the guitar inwards to much to see the notes your playing will affect you from tucking in your elbow and will make the barre chord tense. Instead just let the muscle memory develop while keeping the guitar bit turned and keeping the elbow tucked

My strings are too hard to press. I already adjust the trust rod but it's still hard do I need to adjust the bridge?
