Beginner Guitar: 7 Tips To Ease Your Barre Chords

September 10, 2015 by azsamadlessons 2 Comments

For the most benefit, watch the video as I demonstrate these tips in more detail.

For a quick recap of tips, they are listed here:

Tip #1: Press only the strings you need
Tip #2: Press right behind the frets
Tip #3: When playing a 5-string barre chord, don’t barre the 6th string
Tip #4: Sometimes you don’t even need a barre chord!
Tip #5: Be aware of the angle of your barre finger
Tip #6: Look out where your thumb is!
Tip #7: Use the minimum amount of energy needed to barre!

Hope this helps you to play barre chords easier. Remember to be patient and take breaks to rest your fingers. Barre chords are tough!
