Hey just checking in a year later. I used this song that I learned from your tutorial for an audition and landed my first principal role in a musical! So grateful for this.

Ive been playing guitar for 11 years. there are some things im really good at at this point, but some basic things i just literally cannot do no matter how many years I practice. Barring 2 strings is one of them. I can play a full bar chord and have it ring out. I cannot, absolutely can NOT, bar only some strings on the guitar. Even power chords I can't do, because of the inconsistency of the pressure applied by the pointer finger. Do you have any tips for how I might be able to help this? Example: I can play songs like Bleecker Street by Simon and Garfunkel with complex fretting and picking patterns, I can also easily play every other Hadestown tutorial you've made, but I can't play Wedding Song in the shape you're teaching. My hands just don't do it. When I stretch the ring and pinky fingers to do the hammer-ons, the bottoms of ring+pinky are slightly touching the string below and muting it. When I try to curl my fingers to unmute the string, my pointer finger lifts off slightly and the string starts buzzing. Could it be a problem of grip strength? Hand size? Flexibility? It feels like I am physically incapable of squeezing the neck hard enough, even grunting/straining, squeezing literally as hard as my muscles will squeeze, I just can't do it. Any other long-time/more advanced players who have this problem?

[@JacobTShipley]

If you haven't gotten the open A with just the pointer finger, that's a great place to start - same with an F chord with the pointer covering the 1st and 2nd strings. It could be an issue of any one/a combination of the things you've mentioned and starting smaller is the best way to build it up!

[@charliesuchi85]

@@JacobTShipley Not gonna lie, I didn't actually expect a response, and I feel quite surprised and appreciative. I think that's good advice, saying I should just step back and focus on selective pressure application in bar chords. You're right. I have to keep in mind that playing guitar for half my life and being able to play on the more advanced end does not mean I have mastered the basics. Thanks!

[@JacobTShipley]

@@charliesuchi85 aha as a teacher I gotta help if I can. It’s a journey! We’re all still working on new/old things. It’ll come quickly I’m sure
