I know I must seem like an idiot but I was looking at the wrong time indicator. If you are interested in the distortion problem start listening at 3:55. Sometimes I make mistakes I am not a millennial. Thanks. Your the best. Please don't respond. I'm already embarrassed by my mistake. Love you.

[@JohnJackson-mn4ts]

What is the best way to build finger strength for the barre cords?

[@LaurenBateman]

Finger push-ups. Squeeze and I squeeze the chord on the strings. No Strumming

[@LaurenBateman]

Aww well that means a lot. Thank you Brian.

[@normphillips609]

I found your video on the “F” cords to be of great help right now.. I have been trying to use bar cords for about 6 months. I still have problems on first fret bar cords. I can do some on third fret on but still not great. I came across a uTube on bar cords and a comment was made on getting a guitar setup. I think that the action on my guitar might be too high. I have a Taylor auditorium and when I bought it I was told that there was no need to have it setup. Do you have any advice on the need for a setup?

[@LaurenBateman]

Hi Norma, Sometimes lighter strings help too. Sometimes, a lower bridge helps to get the strings closer to the fret board which can make it easier to play.

[@sukhsarirajbanshisuman3878]

Dear sis you made it so easy but I also want to learn some strumming pattern . I wish if you can help me

[@LaurenBateman]

Search Lauren Bateman strumming

[@drwombat]

What type of chord or name would you call when you press down on low e second fret (f#?) And leave all other strings open and strum?

[@LaurenBateman]

It would be a very funky name. Sorry music theory isn't my strong point so I would have to look it up.

[@lowellirish]

Hi Lauren...Its Jamie. Still stalking you...😅... So my F#m G#m chords is down pretty good...at tempo Same with my FM7 Transition to Bm is good at fast tempo as well. Still muffing up my F# though! It's my middle finger, not the barre! Thanks for the lessons!! 🥰

[@LaurenBateman]

Yeah those Barre chords are pesky little buggers.

[@johnberger7039]

If the bottom three strings on the second fret are F#m would the bottom three strings on the first fret be an easy fix for F?

[@LaurenBateman]

No, that would be an F minor chord

[@johnberger7039]

@@LaurenBateman ahh true

[@lclover77]

Lauren ....thank you so much ....it makes it so easy......but you forgot to tell us about exercises for the fingers to do these types of chords ..nevertheless ..thank you again !!

Yes, you can

Please how to play B chord ☕❤🦋

[@LaurenBateman]

One of the hardest chords out there

[@robkunkel8833]

🎉🎶 I’ve just realized a problem that have. Listening, i get muddled when directions are verbal .. “move the finger DOWN.” Visualizing I’m not able to react because (for the purpose of illustration) I would go ACROSS on the finger chart. A little simple thing for me to remember Is down also means across. Walking and chewing gum can be challenging for me, too … lol, (self absorbed humor).

[@LaurenBateman]

major 7 chords sounds like the chord in Wild Fire.

I hate bar chords. When I play , I prefer playing solos & licks

[@LaurenBateman]

Whatever works 😀

[@guitarman8462]

@@LaurenBateman best way to learn ( at least it was for me ) is by improvising to the blues. That way you train your ear & get to know the neck & positions .

[@brandonrock09]

yes bar cord =impossible.. ugh

[@LaurenBateman]

They are tricky, but the more you practice, the faster they come. This is a good work around but the full chord songs much better.

[@drunkviggo7263]

I love the song "Suzanne" by Leonard Cohen, but there is an F# minor chord, and it has to be finger picked. Yikes.

Ouch. Yeah, work your way up to it
