Barré chords

6/1/2018

Many guitarists give up  the guitar due to the difficulty of the barré chord… that’s a shame, if a few simple guidelines are followed, they needn’t be that demanding.

This video is included in this series of guitar ‘basics' even though a barré chord is not viewed as basic by most people; I remember as a beginner struggling with them, just to realise later that it was the action of my guitar making them impossible to play easily. I’m sure this is the case for most players finding difficulty. A simple set-up would hugely improve the playability and enjoyment of the guitar for lots of beginners, a simple saddle height adjustment could mean they continue to play and enjoy playing.

Playing a barré chord with a relaxed as possible hand is discussed in the video; here are a few little tricks we can employ to make them easy.

    Guitar Basics


    Over the years I've developed techniques and picked up some gems from influential teachers such as Craig Ogden, Manus Noble and Gary Ryan that can make playing so much more pleasurable, snippets that can help make the seemingly unachievable, achievable. 

    My general approach to good technique is one based on relaxed posture and focused effort. The reason we work on technique is to allow the music to be freed from the score and expressed by the guitarist with ease and confidence.

    Lots of students have asked if I could record the exercises we regularly use and this blog is the result.

    Blog introduction can be read here.
