Hi Justin, I'm glued to your channel! I'm 63, and I refused to give up my dream of learning how to play guitar. Thanks for sharing your talent!

Hey Francisca :) Thanks for your message - I really appreciate it and I'm happy that you're following your dream of playing guitar. Cheers!

So nice to read about another woman in her 60s learning to play guitar as I am in Chicagoland U.S.A. 🎸

[@jelau4851]

Hang on Francisca, it,s hard at the beginning just learning the basic chords, but once your muscle memory builds up, you will see huge improvement, and , from there, a huge amount of music is waiting there for you. just get a good guitar, something like a Seagull S6 or alike, or any brand you feel confortable with.

[@billburnout9386]

Justin: when I was 20, I reached the point where clearly the next step was to learn barre chords, and I just couldn't do it. Over the years I've come back to trying again periodically, but I just couldn't get it. Now I'm 60. I've been trying to learn barre chords on and off for months. A few days ago I watched this video, and it finally told me what I was doing wrong and what I need to know. Now I'm making steady progress. If I just keep practicing, I oughta be pretty good in a year! It's astonishing how nobody told me what I needed to know before, despite all my efforts. Thanks Justin!

[@nigelbelton4748]

Another 60 something here Justin. Just to say that your detailed instruction goes above and beyond what we should be given for free. Your delivery is not condescending in any way, or judgemental, towards us mere beginners. We know there’s a long road ahead, but with your dedication to every one of us, we shall overcome - WE WILL BE GUITARISTS! Thank you so very much. Respect to you Justin.

[@achsa7624]

So grateful to be born in an age where the internet exists and high quality educational content like this exists for free ! I will definitly make a small donation once I am finished with Grade 1 of your free guitar course.

Best barre chord lesson out there. No question. It is all in the little details. I'm an older learner (late 40's) and this is the first time I have seen the mechanics explained in such detail that I could troubleshoot my problems and resolve them. Thank you my friend.

[@justinguitar]

You're very welcome. Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it!

[@andrewtenn923]

Late 50's, bought am electric guitar last November. Your instruction & courses are awe-inspiring. Really friendly, personable teaching...thanks so much🙏🏻

[@johncaravello7513]

Thank you very much Justin. You give so many helpful tips to ease my struggling with barre chords. Like trying to learn driving with a manual transmission. Getting down the action with the accelerator and easing out the clutch at the same time. Getting that action fixed in your mind first is most necessary before you even begin to actually drive (steering, braking, and watching the road, and your destination). Trying to learn barre chords too quickly has never worked for me. I almost gave up in frustration. Your instruction guides each step, one by one. Practicing just one step at a time for several days it begins to miraculously sound better. I so much appreciate your guidance in teaching. I never realized how much there was to learn on the guitar. I've been playing 5 string banjo for a few years but the guitar is a whole different animal. I watch and listen and practice on each video several times. Each time I find more tips I missed the first and second time. You are an amazing guitarist and guitar guru (instructor). I so much appreciate the time and effort you've given to all of us who struggle with learning the basics. Again, Thank you for your patience, time, and the gift of learning well.

[@joespin5160]

Thankyou Justin! 25 years ago i was a mediocre player when I sold my Ovation Custom Balladeer and Steinberger bass to support my church. Now that I have been blessed to replace both, I am getting so much better than I ever was in less than 1 month. You and 2 others on KZbin have been making it so easy to get back my muscle memory and greatly improve my technique.

[@stephenwilson7865]

A great explanation on hand/finger positioning for barre chords. You are a good teacher and a patient sort of guy to go to those lengths. Thank you very much Justin.

[@steveperks59]

A 64 year old here! I've always cheated and hooked my thumb over to play the 6th string but thought it was about time to get this barre chord thing down so I can teach my daughter properly. Struggling on my own resulted in a painful experience and a constantly muted B string. Within 10 minutes of practice after watching this video, I had every note ringing clearly and the pain reduced considerably. I know that with daily practice, going through a mental checklist and reviewing the mechanics laid out here and building up strength, this is going to get easier and easier! They say practice makes perfect, but if you don't have the mechanics correct, you are just practicing and embedding the bad habits. This was a really useful video and I will pass it on to anyone interested in this topic!

[@ronbussell467]

Absolutely the best lesson I have seen on KZbin for Barre chords. Those cellphone views are a great help to your presentations

[@vincentmaloney5835]

The best guitar teacher ever. Believe me, I watched a lot of videos about barre chords practicing. This one is the best so far. It helped me tremendously.

[@lil_bored111]

The fact that you clarified that the first finger is only pressing on the specific strings was so helpful. I was never able to figure that out until now and it makes barre chords seem way less threatening

[@CampfireGuitarHero]

I struggled with barre chords in the early days also. A great tip I received was to use a capo on (say) 3rd fret and play the chords as you would with no capo…there is less tension on the strings with a capo so they are easier to push down. Try the F chord with a capo on 3rd or 5th fret, it will be easier and will keep you motivated to keep trying.

[@derekthompson5153]

Justinguitar, I've been trying the F barre chord for 3 weeks now. At first the pain my index finger was OUCH!!! But now it is easing and I can get sounds out of all strings 8 out of 10 times. The other 2 times are a muted G string with the middle finger. I could never have achieved it without you KZbin vids. Thank you.

[@brentc7671]

Thank you for this guidance Justin. As a real life mechanic I struggle with carpel tunnel in both wrist and this video has really helped me to play bar chords with less pain. I commend you Sir for what you do for all those that are chasing a dream of becoming a better guitarist.

As someone who is still trying to learn F, I find the information in this is invaluable. So many more tips about finger placement, wrist angles, how to roll the barre properly etc. that I really needed to bring into my F chord practice. Thanks for this video!

Holy cow, this was already head and shoulders above the other videos I've watched, and then you threw in Columbo! ☺️❤ Perfect. Thank you so much. I'm trying guitar again after 35 years off, and I have some questionable habits to undo. This level of detail really helps.

[@ande047]

@12:26 is a huge obstacle that I noticed people often overlook! So glad you mentioned this! Gotta keep the back of the finger from sliding no matter how badly it wants to. We don’t put a capo on crooked, it’s supposed to be parallel to the fret so same goes for keeping the barred finger parallel. Thanks Justin for all the time and helpful explanations you put into your videos!

[@SunriseSuperThruster]

When I was in Noosa, recovering from a Fraser Island off road bus trip, they reckoned I sounded more like an Australian than they do. What I'm saying is, you sound more like an Englishman than we do here in England. Strange old world I'm an Englishman raised in Canada. After less than six months of your tuition I'm playing the guitar at age 67. Thank you Justin. 😁

[@markmorrison6908]

Justin, your teaching style is ideal, especially for a 59 yr old, like me. I played a bit in high school and moved on. Back at it thanks to your course. These barre chords are tough...I told someone they should dig the guy up who invented them so he could be jailed...😁 I've kinda worked around them, but I'm gonna hammer away until they are second nature. This tutorial is excellent!

[@edwardharrison2651]

Great lesson on barre chords. The advice about the risk of carpel tunnel problems is so important. As a late starter playing guitar ( started at 62) I developed quite a serious problem with my thumb and wrist down to bad positioning. It took me 12 months to recover. Had I seen your video before trying barre chords I could have avoided the problem. Fantastic teaching skills. Your videos enable people like me,with no background of playing music, to develop skills we once thought unachievable.

[@1racepace]

Thank you for this Justin. This is by far the most comprehensive lesson on the mechanics of barre chords including aspects of physiology and psychology with the instrument. Thank you so much for this and all your lessons and songs. You're an amazing human to share your knowledge on this channel. Much appreciated! ❤

Thank you Justin for great insight. I have been practicing E shape barre chord with my favorite song for over a month and I am still not quite there yet. This chord is a tricky one. But this video is instant help. Justin have wonderful style of teaching.

[@Biggotravellers]

"put the barre right on top of the fret and then roll the finger slightly sideways so that you use the side part of the finger" and "use neither the fleshy part nor exactly the side of the finger but the area at 45 degree angle" are the best advice I received on barre chord so far. It helped a ton! Thank you so much, Justin :)

Excellent advice Justin, especially keeping the wrist back; I've been struggling with this and altering this will really help! Many thanks😊

Best lesson ever!!! 💚 I've been struggling with this a lot because with my tiny hands the second string is right under the "arch" of the index finger when I bend it. But now I'm confident that there's some way around it, after all, there are children who can play the guitar.

[@wadepatton2433]

Young or new guitarist might never have heard of one of the Greats of Jazz who relearned to play after being injured and losing most of the use of two fingers on his fretting hand. See Django Reinhardt. Watch him play. A great lesson in "figuring it out" and make do with what you have--and maybe inspiration for those who have four good fingers to utilize.
