What you'll learn

  • At the end of the course the student will be able to play a barre chord. They will also have the tools to practice how to apply them in a song.

Course content

4 sections • 12 lectures • 42m total length

  • Introduction1:27

    Here you will learn the fundamental skills that you will need to work on to be successful in this course. You will need to learn to keep your barre finger straight, parallel with the frets and moved up far in the fret.

  • Exercise #12:16

    Here you will apply what you learned about how to hold your finger, to a simple but important exercise. Don't gloss over this one, it may seem easy, but take your time and make sure you're doing all three things (straight finger, parallel with frets, up in fret).

  • Exercise #24:37

    Permission to sound bad! Here you are going to start to apply just a little bit of pressure to the barre so that some strings may be fretted, while others may not be fretted. The resulting sound should be pretty horrible. That is exactly what we want here, we are working up to playing barre chords and the process will naturally sound bad at first. So in this exercise you officially have permission, and actually the requirement, to sound bad.

  • Exercise #34:10

    In this exercise the objective is to hold down the complete barre across all six strings. If you can't quite do that, just hold down as hard as you can while maintaining the proper finger position. This exercise is good to do in short bursts with enough rest in between for your hand to recover. 

Requirements

  • Students will need to get a guitar. No previous experience with guitar is needed.

Description

This course is a series of exercises on how to play barre chords. The exercises start off very simple and build in difficulty very gradually until you reach the barre chord. You will achieve not only the barre chord, but the skill to apply it in actual songs. 

Learn How to Build Up to the Barre Chord Using This Unique Method

  • Establish proper foundation for the barre


  • Building finger strength and dexterity


  • Building muscle memory


  • Gain speed switching chords


  • Apply to actual songs


Have you attempted to play a barre chord only to be scratching your noodle wondering why this is so difficult?

Perhaps you're a beginner or intermediate guitar student wanting to learn barre chords. Or a self taught guitar player, but still struggle with playing barre chords on guitar.

You have come to the right place my friend. I am about to take you on a journey that starts from the most basic exercises that are easy for anyone to do. 


The first series of exercises is simply establishing the foundation on which we will be building our barre chord. This foundation is so easy, but without it, playing barre chords on guitar is so hard!

The next series of exercises will target finger strength and dexterity. We will build up the difficulty level very slowly so that you don't feel like there are any huge leaps. 

After that you will learn how to train your fingers to automatically find the barre chord shape. This will help you to start developing the ability to find the barre chord shape without thinking too much about it.

Finally, you will be given exercises to help you be able to play them in an actual song.


This will take some effort and patience on your part. This course is a sure way to get to be able to play barre chords with the condition that you really train hard on the exercises given.
