How I Mastered Barre Chords (Unusual…But It Works)

[@MeatCatCheesyBlaster]

Side bone of the finger, close to the steel, thumb in the middle changed my life. It was so hard before

[@MistVapor]

Love your teaching! You are the best teacher I have found!

[@mohamedmusa4393]

Great Teacher.. you are Amazing

[@alanRoberts-m7k]

Thanks Ricky, I’ve been struggling forever to play barre’ chords, this lesson helps such a lot. Alan from Switzerland

[@flyhawk7918]

Ricky, you are a Master! Thank you!

[@ВиталийДомогацкий-д8ф]

Ricky, I'm not able to see your streams, but I see your every record. You're the BEST online-teacher. I use youre tips and tricks. I'd like to buy your book, but I cant pay it (sanctions). Hi from Russia.

The scout thing was new to me. Great tip!

[@MartinWills43]

I keep missing the live sessions so thanks for making them available on KZbin. Sometimes you confuse me with the digressions (but don't stop doing them!) but I always learn useful stuff.

i think you fixed my barre chord issue .. i'll let ya know in a week.👏👏👏

Good luck with a smaller nut width Ricky, was in the same ballpark 😵‍💫 You‘ll find 1 9/16" nuts in 65-69 Gibsons, mostly ES 335 & SG and some LP. But expensive as hell. Maybe you find Vintage correct newer Gibsons/Epis. Some Fenders were made with a smaller nut that area. There‘s a rumor that Jimi played one in 1969-1970… Kurt‘s JagStang was around 40mm for sure, I think the newer iterations aswell. And Larry Carlton tried to put those on his Sire series (like his beloved `69 ES 335) but failed to my knowledge. Cheers from Germany *Andy Timmons comes to my mind. Some smaller nuts on his Ibanez Sigs?

I have been playing guitar for 30 years of and on but not playing steady learn a song and stop playing for months not a novice don't know were I am in the learning stage don't know were to start learning again any suggestions

[@davidadkins2563]

Question,, you said use the Scout finger. So how about if you make a minor barre chord,, do you put on the scout finger set up everything then take off the scout finger

[@rickysguitar]

No for an em shaped barre chord fingers 3 and 4 (ring and pinky) land together as the scout, then the barre is applied. If it was an am shaped chord the sequence would be finger 2 (middle), shape then barre.

[@davidadkins2563]

@@rickysguitar let me just say that you made barre chords 10x easier. I always put the barre first. I’m excited to use barre chords now. Love you man.

[@erichartwell6792]

This is how my teacher taught me

[@FPerini]

I think Japanese made guitars have smaller width nut as in Japan people tend to have smaller hands

[@zookiebudeck3428]

Sounds like „Rock, Paper, Scissors“ and not observations. Did you ever played a Momose or FGN? Sorry, this is completely nonsense…

Skinny necks are hard for me to play, with no room for my fingers.

[@MoeJoe974]

Have you looked at “Big Lou Guitars”? They make wide neck electric guitars. I bought the Telecaster style. Very roomy fretboard for my sausage fingers.

[@jb75cerise]

considering a walk of shame back to facebook just for guitar groups.

I hear ya! If I could live without Facebook as a creator, I'd ditch it in a heart beat!
