[@juditharmstrong6267]

What a wonderful teacher. RiP Mike really enjoying this lesson again. Time works wonders.

[@SusanALennon]

I'm so excited to say that I've had my ukulele for not quite 2 weeks, starting last week I started doing these exercises and today I finally was able to do this without sounding like a goose with a hairball!!

[@Redheadedlady55]

~Still love to follow & learn. RIP...miss you.

[@layahma]

Thanks for that, weird thing is I don't feel strained doing bar chords on the guitar but I do on the ukulele. Who says the Uke is childs play.

[@PhasePhotographyBrighton]

best barre chords tutorial on KZbin. thanks x

[@hyabussa5747]

Agreed!

[@destiny8967]

Yes

[@user-ui5dr9fw8v]

You're so unforgettable gentleman. Godspeed

[@sarahvalerie4307]

thank you for the great advice! I mostly have trouble on the 1st fret since it's so raised from the board compared to the other frets. Hopefully I'll develop enough strength for that one x

[@Marys-Channel]

I vote yes! Every Day ☺️. It works!!! 30 days! I've added scales with the Barre to work all the fingers. It is worth the few minutes a day! You'll get so much more enjoyment!👍😎✌️

[@ArtGirlJan]

Thank you, Michael. You explain things in a way I get from no where else.

[@Jessica-dw8bl]

This really did teach me how to play barre chords! The exercises really helped me to build the muscles needed.

[@beth7467]

This is fantastic -- thank you!

[@5877user]

You definitely are a much better teacher than the guy calling himself the ukulele teacher!!!!

[@brettomomyces]

You've helped me so much, thank you Mike, don't know where I'd be without all your excellent videos

[@cameronfrost3225]

Thanks Mike! Our uke group was thinking of doing some weekly warmups to help folks develop their barre chord techniques. This helps!

[@NickMarotta]

These exercises helped me finally get better sounding barre chords. Thank you!

[@wongposanronicawongposanro3120]

Really helpful. Thanks a lot.

[@RebeccaDeLaTorreMusic]

Thanks so much for sharing!! I was wondering why the bar chords were so hard and didn't sound clear - now I have some exercises to help me get past this. Thank you!!!

[@Shashaylah]

Oh thanks. Looks like I will have to do some strengthening. Another great tip!

[@peterlenhart]

Thank you very much for your lessons, you are very good teacher and player. It helps me very well. Thanks!

[@reginarodrigues5890]

this was GREAT ! TNX

[@peterhaynes8258]

A very informative video & really appreciated. Thank you Sir.

[@mimss5277]

Thank you so much I’ve been stuck and honestly felt like giving up and just smashing my uke against the floor

[@eduardoantoni]

gracias Mike, es Ud un gran maestro.

[@MusicTeacher2010]

@layahma I agree. . . Same goes for the mandolin. My theory is that the neck is so narrow, it somehow forces the fngers to use even different muscles then those on guitar barre chords. Also, the strings are generally much closer so getting a clean sound with two or more fingers added to the barre chord make it an issue too

[@norathecat3083]

Thanks!

[@vanjane]

Mike I love your video's and I appreciate all the time you spend teaching on line. It is much appreciated. (BTW it is exercise and not excercise.) No to go off and develop my muscles.

[@deedavis9511]

[@gregcollins3404]

thank you mike, you are good teach!

[@XXnidocivXX]

I keep getting a buzzing sounds on some strings.

[@Sunambra]

You know your stuff.

[@destiny8967]

This is so helpful

[@sincerelynikki9662]

Thank you so much, your videos are great help :)

[@smbritton1]

I have a new solid koa ukulele where the string tension is lower at the nut, however the frets are slightly lower. This is affecting some of my barre chords (the D7 form). Your exercises will help, thanks.

[@islandbeaver222]

this is helpful and all but i was wondering how u do something like a D where the first string isnt barred but the rest are

[@letitsnowization]

hey mike thank you so much for all these awesome videos! funnily enough i dont seem to have much problems with barring as show it in your video, but going from one chord (G e.g) to a barre chord is really diffucult as the position of ones thumb is so much different when barring. do you have any tips for that? cheers!

[@reginarodrigues5890]

Thumb on my left hand hurts how can I correct this problem please ?

[@JaredKrauss]

part of that is normal, but if it starts to hurt regularly when not playing, look up something like the hand band and eccentric finger exercises

[@aeriesssaa]

i cant even pass barring on the 5th fret :(

[@SIOMJO]

sirr!! this exercise is also applicable on a standrd acoustic guitar or not??? plzz answer!!

[@kathjordan2497]

Hi mike can I mix bar chords with normal chords

[@TheApurv300]

Is this applicable even for the guitar?

[@nehapatil4337]

My second string remains muted no matter what, any tips?

[@anthro3396]

Maybe try not to lay the inlet of your finger on the string

[@emmettleech8229]

could I use guitar strings on my suprano uke ?

[@deedavis9511]

Emmett Leech - why would you want to?

[@adriennejacoby9112]

Since when are using the French spelling of bar (barre) to describe a chord form used on a Portuguese instrument adapted by Hawaiians? LOL!!
