Mastering Bar Chords

[@Michael19585]

Quite simply the best tutorial on bar chords I've come across on the net, and you were right I nailed it. Thank you so much!!!!

[@kevinf9124]

I’m simply stunned! I have been trying to do a clean F barre chord for months with little to no success until following Mark’s instructions on this video. I have a bit to go to transition to this chord quickly but I literally was able to nail the dreaded F after watching this video once and have consistently been able to cleanly play it ever since! I cannot thank you enough Mark.

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

Yes yes yes! Another convert to Barchords I love it. Don’t worry the F cord will come to you quick enough with repetition congratulations

[@PatrickBall]

@Mark TheGuitarGuy - Agree, tucking the elbow and rolling your shoulder so the hand rolls works so well. I was able to play an F and G bar chords and they ring out clearly. Now I just need to build strength in the hand. Thanks so much!

[@dmaikibujin]

Notes: Drop the shoulder - thumb low on the neck - wrist beneath the guitar - elbow tucked in to body (curls fingers over) Ostrich Head - Make your weak Ostrich strong! 2nd, 3rd, 4th fingers before barre High fret position Corner of the finger Show them knuckles! Another great lesson! 😁

[@mohammadelrifai6921]

Dude you are awesome. Best Barre Chord tutorial I've seen yet!

I've never seen this topic taught this way before. Simply dropping my shoulder really made the difference for me. Thank you.

[@FatsquatchPNW]

Oh. My. GOD. I wish somebody had told me that trick about keeping my elbow tucked in for barre chords before. ❤

[@blair821]

WOW!....it work.. my first real bar chord. Thanks a lot.

[@okcpicker]

Mark, these tutorials are presented extremely well. Thanks so much! I've struggled with bar chords, but your description of the wrist shape, shoulder drop and thumb position makes so much sense!

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

Thanks so much bro, appreciate you saying so.

[@PopArtPosters]

Thanks Mark. I've struggled with bar chords for three years. Nailed my very first bar chord after 5 minutes !!. Tucking in your elbow makes so much sense. Cheers mate !!!

[@zerotrace000]

This video is a diamond among videos. It is the best explanation I have seen on how to do a barre chord. Bravo Mark! You just made the guitar world a better place.

[@zerotrace000]

Hi Mark, I am a beginner at guitar and I am finally getting the hang of the F chord. All credit goes to you. Thank you Sir.

[@terrytaillard4588]

This lesson and a year of daily practice should do it.

[@jeanclaudevandam4974]

I have been having trouble forming bar chords quick enough. The trick with the first 3 fingers then bring the index finger in last helped me huge. Thanks

[@n00bie96]

[@ricardotilado7513]

[@simantagoswami49]

n00bie 😂😂

[@benmiller9854]

On the guitah

[@evanjohnson2961]

The elbow tuck is a great tip that I haven't seen anywhere else, helped my barre chords out a ton. Thanks!

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

Evan Johnson No problem!

[@TeressaAmyNicole]

Oh MY GOSH! For the first time in my life I did the F barre chord without any nasty buzz sound. You are the best teacher ever. Love you mate

[@JezzaGee]

the dropping the shoulder helped me improve my f chord thank youuuu

[@MohamedElsheikh22]

I think I should go to gym first :)

[@abhiseeker1579]

You really made me laugh🤣🤣🤣

[@abd0-omar420]

اتعلمت الكورد ولا لسة؟

[@MUSICALSANJEEV]

😁😁😁🎸🎸😁😁👋

[@rhodesrook]

For two years, as a new guitar player, I have run away from bar chords, even cheating on the F with some pretty gruesome sounds as a result. Thanks Mark. Simple, clear instructions to follow which I will do as soon as I stop typing.

[@jackboyd7741]

Same, I've been relying on Fmaj7 for so long lol

[@ssent1]

Outstanding! Masterful tips. Just what I needed to elevate my barre chord game.

[@michaelwduffy]

Excellent tutorial

[@garydonaldson9849]

Great lesson. Just starting and find barres very difficult. Nice instruction. Thanks

[@satish8758]

Man, been struggling for weeks and now I could strum a perfect F barre chord, thanx allot.

[@cg7470]

I will come back to this often! Excellent advice, amazing how much the position makes it easier to play a barre chord! Thank you!

[@mrx-b3i]

really make me feel happy , and great teaching!

[@davidmc8478]

Actually works. I kinda “forgot” how to do barre chords. Watched a few vids, this one has all the best tips and I can play them again. Struggling with F minor bug F major is a breeze

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

That tricky minor note in Fm will start sounding more as you progress. But try this... move the Index finger higher up over the neck slightly, as if your trying to reach it above the neck. It’ll stop that little crease in ur finger from sitting right on that string that’s not ringing

[@davidmc8478]

Mark The Guitar Guy , thanks mark. I had actually started doing that but had convinced myself it was “wrong”. Will keep working on it.

[@MovieMaker309]

Hi Mark, started on barre chords about a month ago (mostly the F chord) and I'm doing ok, but this will definitely help me get better postitioning with my fingers and shoulder..thanks

[@abedfo88]

@Mark TheGuitarGuy i love you man haha :) that elbow tucking in is genius. straight away i got an F chord to ring out finally!

[@tombeans2204]

Andrew Bedford same here I agree 10000% mark you're the best!

[@guitartalk1972]

Your guitar videos are always awesome, Mark. You're doing an amazing service to guitar players of all levels.

[@colinjs71]

Been watching tonnes of youtube guitar lessons and just found you. You are by far the best sir. Lookin forward to learning with all your videos.

[@Germoney2000]

Thank you! Great info.... The part with the wrist, the thumb and tucking in the elbow was espically helpful.... (I've been to several different sites) As far as I know, you are the only one on KZbin who mentions this.

[@predragsinko2513]

my hero. thanks for sharing this with us.

[@craigbuckley4832]

great video Mark, its really helped me to get a better understanding of these Barre chords, especially the positioning & angle of which the first finger rests on the frets.keep up the great videos i,m really enjoying them, especially your videos on the various strumming pattens. great tutorials keep up the good work. many thanks

[@casualmmafan4258]

I shit thee not, if you’re reading this wondering wether nor not this video will be worth your time it absolutely will be! My friend gave me an acoustic last week which I haven’t stopped playing since, I couldn’t for the life of me get my index finger to work without buzzing or muting one of the strings. By the end of the video I can play perfect bar chords. Unreal. I’ve played bass for years but I’ve never progressed so quickly with one short lesson Thank you, sincerely

[@nelsondcunha3156]

I am much better in bar chord now and thank you for the video.

[@Motivatedk9]

I just started playing 3 weeks ago. Today was my first officially Barre chord without any buzzing!! Omg Thanks

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

Congratulations 🥳...only 3 weeks and you’re tackling barre chords already. Nice

[@Motivatedk9]

@@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel I'm doing the normal stuff too, studying each string to memorize notes. Learning easy songs with open chords.

[@julianmartinez422]

[@chromatic91]

I have small hands and no matter how hard i try i cant get the second to last string to work, its a crevice in my hand that stops it from being pushed down...

[@frostarda]

What is the notaion so it is E F F SHARP G G SHARP then?

[@bigshorts202]

5 yrs later... you help me play f#m. thanks

[@MarkTheGuitarGuyChannel]

It only took 5 years??? That’s quick 😂

[@aryashrstha993]

Loved your lesson, I tried a lot but i'm unable to play barre chords. I need you right beside me to teach the barre chords. Why this is happening with me everyone can play but why i can't.

[@victorrubahimbya1124]

😂😂😂😂 interesting teaching technique ...loved the ostrich joke makes the class more interesting

[@thomasjohnston6979]

I cant still play f Barr chord I did everything mark did and I cant do it

[@mjt11860]

how about A SHAPE barre chords? they're killing me!

[@noelserrao9680]

hey please make a video of how to shift from a bar chord to another bar chord

[@gamechannel356]

Nice bro

[@sejdailkbahar3801]

Tks, very very much❣️❣️❣️🙏🙏🙏👌

[@psmithphil]

Good video but I have no problem with the bar. When I do an F chord, the problem I have is putting the 3 fingers down perfectly on the strings. I miss a little and have to quickly adjust, especially with the middle finger (on an F chord). But that very short delay is still too slow and the chord isn't clean until I adjust. And the B chord - that one is a nightmare!

[@Tech_Telligence]

SeeYouLearnEnglish you should practice regular open chords like E major and A minor without using your index finger i.e by using middle, ring and pinky until you get used to them then using them while barring with index will become natural.

[@YouTuber-lb9ot]

Which song is in the intro?

[@pattycerqua5679]

Sometimes you have to do the bar first because you need to hit the bass note, I always last down my index first

[@ganadeepansubramaniam2575]

I often get a pain near my thumb when I play bar chords for a while.. How to get rid of it??

[@fynworld]

don't press so hard on the back of the neck

[@LonskiBig]

...yahh...I'm practicing that "Lay, Lady Lay" opening riff too.....

[@starlord3296]

finally thanks to the elbow tip

[@soulvaccination8679]

Push in with your right forearm.With your left hand pull in..That’s it.Keep practicing.

[@HassanAfxal]
