Notes: Angle the neck up at least 30 degrees Posture = straight back Elbow close to the body Drop the wrist below fretboard Loose shoulder - Tension free Thumb between first and second finger Thumb in the middle/back of neck Side of thumb against guitar - knuckle locked Straight wrist - dropped down - tension free Don't squeeze too hard - tension = just right Fingers close to the frets Roll index to the bony side Keep second finger knuckle curl strong - don't flatten it Pull from fretting arm and back shoulder = leverage Thumb = support - not squeezing Push/stabilize guitar with picking arm Minor chords - 2nd finger can reinforce the first If all else fails - go classical Great lesson! 😁

That "thumb between the first and second fingers" thing is something I've learned from playing bass guitar (I play a five string bass), but the idea apparently flew out of my head when I picked up my electric guitar. It's amazing how much of a game changer it is. (Now I don't have to stick with power chords, dyads,and arpeggios when playing metal /rock). I thank you for reminding me

Well Done! Concise and to the point....a good collection of very good advice all in one place. One of the most important things about barre chord is practice! Remember how when learning your first rudimentary chords that you felt your fingers could never bend there?....then one day you are playing clear chords.....well, this is the same thing! Do not give up or worry if it does not sound right at first....keep playing and adjusting! Work on getting it right them work on speed.

Some really good advice here. I will have to keep coming back to remind myself of the proper techniques involved. It's so easy to get sloppy and takes more effort to shore up all the inefficiencies in bar chord technique. I like the part about using the side of your thumb and getting it lined up with the second finger and 4th string position behind the neck. It's going to take practice to relearn the proper technique, but I'll get it.

This is very informative and I will refer back to help correct this. For me, its about just consistently trying to correct this. I'm not sure if it's affecting my playing bar chords, but I'm double jointed on both thumbs. So they both can easily bend back more than most. But my music teacher also use to suggested raising left foot and resting on left leg, over 15 years btw. Also I come from drums as my main instrument and only a few years ago during the start of pandemic learning bass properly. But this has all helped transition over effectively.

Hello Jack, thanks for the steps in the video but I have one question. The last step seems to contradict the looseness in the shoulder. How can you be pulling the strings/neck towards you without tightening the shoulder? I'm going to try lighter gauge strings(currently using 12) on my acoustic electric. Aside from that, thanks for the help.
@GuitarElevation
Ай бұрын
You pull with the elbow and not the shoulder! That's the distinction. And don't think of it as pulling more so than just holding it in place using the elbow in its natural position. There shouldn't be any tension there! And yes, definitely a 0.12 gauge is a workout 😅

This is fantastic. The only thing is, I still can't apply enough pressure to get a decent sound out of the B string. EDIT: Actually, I think I'm getting. Pulling with the arm. That makes such a huge difference and makes such sense. Thank you.

The biggest issue I have is getting the B string not to buzz, it usually is where my knuckle bends and therefore there isn't enough pressure on the string. If I move my pointer finger more upwards the space under the bend is raised even more and if I move my finger a little lower it won't reach the low E string. Maybe its just an issue of my finger size.

You might have a tension problem that is not related to barre chords only. It's better if you can have someone take a look at it. A professional teacher preferably. You might even have a thumb problem that is not related to the guitar if it hurts you all the time even if you're not playing. I don't want to assume things, but it's better if you follow up with that. I wish you the best!
