[N] Hi, I'm Paul Brudd here with www.beginningguitaristacademy.com and in this video, I'm going to teach you
how to master bar chords in just 3 simple steps.
So if you've been playing the guitar for any length of time, then you probably already
know how hard bar chords can be and I totally get that because when I started learning how
to play the guitar, I found them really difficult as well.
So I'm going to give you a 3-step system that I've developed that will make learning bar
chords just much easier for you.
If you'd like to learn how to master bar chords in 3 simple steps, then I encourage you to
keep watching this video all the way to the end because I will show you how to do it.
So let's get into my 3-step system.
So basically, what are these 3 steps for mastering bar chords?
Basically what I've done is I've taken bar chords, so this is like the F major bar chord
and I've broken it into 3 steps.
Step 1 is where you simply focus on just the index finger alone.
So step 1 is the index finger.
Step 2 is what I call the alternate E chord in the case of the F major bar chord or alternatively
it could be the alternate A chord, but I'm not going to cover that in this video.
We'll be talking about basically bar chords held in the shape of E.
That's where we get
that alternate E chord.
So step 1 again was the index finger, step 2 was the alternate E chord and step 3 is
basically putting them together.
So let's go back to step 1 and we'll cover that and I'll go into some details.
So step 1 again is the index finger.
Simply we just focus on the index finger alone, we don't worry about any other part of the chord.
Sometimes just basically getting your finger to lay across the strings can be a challenge
in and of itself.
So step 1, simply you want to lay your index finger across either all 6 strings or all
5 strings depending on the bar chord that you're playing.
In this case we're going to use the example of the F major bar chord.
So in this case we'll be laying our index finger across all 6 strings.
Now a bit of a tip to make it easier is don't use the flat face of your index finger, instead
use the edge of your index finger.
Doing that is going to make it so much easier for you.
It's kind of like my best tip I can give you with bar chords is to use the edge of your index finger.
It's going to be much easier to press down on the chord or the strings and it's going
to mean that you're not going [Ab] to get as many kind of dead notes like this.
See I'm using the flat face here and basically I've got to press down really hard just to
get the [F] string to ring out.
But if I use the edge, so I kind of roll my wrist around a little, [Fm]
it's very easy to let
basically all the strings ring out and you get that nice sound which we want with bar
chords because one of the big issues people have is dead and muted strings with bar chords.
So step 1 is easy, it's just the index finger.
So lay your index finger across all the 6 strings we're doing in the first fret for
the F major chord and you just want [A] to pick each string to make sure it rings out.
If you're getting dead notes, you just maybe want to adjust your [Bb] finger around slightly
but just kind of muck around with it and just find out what string is giving you grief and
then try and fix that I guess.
Step 2 is what I call the alternate E chord and with bar chords, if you can see here,
I've got an E chord shape.
I've got my index finger and then I've got this E chord shape happening here.
But why I call it the alternate E chord is because I'm using my 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger
instead of my 1st, 2nd and 3rd finger.
That's why I call it the alternate E chord.
So for step 2, what we're going to do is a [E] bit of a trick and we're going to play the
E chord, so just a normal E major chord but instead of using our 1st, 2nd, 3rd like we
would normally do it for the E chord, we're going to use our 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger which
kind of feels a little weird to press down at first.
So that's just a normal E chord but I'm using my 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger instead of my [Am] 1st.
Now what we want to do with the index finger is just rest it on the nut of the guitar here,
so just rest it there.
You don't press it on any of the strings, you can press as light or as hard as you want
on the nut, it's not going to matter [E] because it won't press down on any of the strings.
We just want to focus on the alternate E chord.
Play with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger, so just a standard E major chord just with 2nd,
3rd and 4th finger instead of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd.
And you just want to check and make sure each of the strings ring out.
That sounds good.
And again, you can press your index finger wherever you want, you can have it in the
air, you can rest it on the nut of the guitar, [Fm] it does not matter.
So that's step 1.
So again, step 1 was just the index finger, we did that in the 1st fret.
Step 2, we just did the alternate E chord where we formed an E chord just like you would
normally do but with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers and the index finger was just laying
here on the nut of the guitar.
You can have it stretched over there if you really want but it doesn't really make sense
to do that but do whatever you want with it.
Step 3, we're going to put them together and form our barre chords.
So this is step 3 of my 3 [E]-step system for playing barre chords.
So what we do is we kind of go back in reverse order.
So we start with step 2, we get our E chord and we just want to make sure that rings out
and we do that by picking each of the strings and making sure it sounds fine like that.
We put our index finger on the nut of the guitar like I was suggesting before.
So now what we're going to do is basically, so that's the index finger, now what we want
to do is put it all [N] together and for this case, for the F chord, we're just going to
slide up a fret.
So my 2nd finger being in the 1st fret and the other 2 being in the 2nd fret, we move
up one fret but because we've got our index finger there already laying down, we just
move it up one fret and just lay it [F] down and then you just want to check and pick each
of the strings to make sure that they [E] ring out.
So again, the 3rd step of putting it together, we kind of go in reverse order.
So we start with step 2 which is the alternate E chord, index finger is pressing down on
the nut of the guitar, we then just slide our hand up one fret [F] like that and then you
just want to pick each of the strings to see if they're all ringing out.
[N] You want to check for dead notes or anything like that.
But that's basically how to master barre chords in 3 simple steps.
Again, step 1 was the index [A] finger, step 2 is the alternate E chord in the case of what
we're learning here, barre chords held in the shape of E and step 3 is simply just a
matter of putting them all together but in this case, for the F chord, it's just simply moving up.
If we were to do the A chord, we would be playing up here, [G] the G would be [Fm] here, the F there.
So hopefully that teaches you, hopefully you found this video helpful.

would normally do it for the E chord, we're going to use our 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger which
kind of feels a little weird to press down at first.
_ _ So that's just a normal E chord but I'm using my 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger instead of my [Am] 1st.
Now what we want to do with the index finger is just rest it on the nut of the guitar here,
so just rest it there.
You don't press it on any of the strings, you can press as light or as hard as you want
on the nut, it's not going to matter [E] because it won't press down on any of the strings.
We just want to focus on the alternate E chord.
_ Play with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th finger, so just a standard E major chord just with 2nd,
3rd and 4th finger instead of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd. _ _
And you just want to check and make sure each of the strings ring out.
That sounds good.
And again, you can press your index finger wherever you want, you can have it in the
air, you can rest it on the nut of the guitar, [Fm] it does not matter.
So that's step 1.
So again, step 1 was just the index finger, we did that in the 1st fret.
Step 2, we just did the alternate E chord where we formed an E chord just like you would
normally do but with the 2nd, 3rd and 4th fingers and the index finger was just laying
here on the nut of the guitar.
You can have it stretched over there if you really want but it doesn't really make sense
to do that but do whatever you want with it.
Step 3, we're going to put them together and form our barre chords.
So this is step 3 of my 3 [E]-step system for playing barre chords.
So what we do is we kind of go back in reverse order.
So we start with step 2, _ we get our E chord and we just want to make sure that rings out
_ and we do that by picking each of the strings and making sure it sounds fine like that.
We put our index finger on the nut of the guitar like I was suggesting before.
So now what we're going to do is basically, so that's the index finger, now what we want
to do is put it all [N] together and for this case, for the F chord, we're just going to
slide up a fret.
So my _ _ 2nd finger being in the 1st fret and the other 2 being in the 2nd fret, we move
up one fret but because we've got our index finger there already laying down, we just
move it up one fret and just lay it [F] down and then you just want to check and pick each
of the strings to make sure that they [E] ring out.
So again, _ _ _ the 3rd step of putting it together, we kind of go in reverse order.
So we start with step 2 which is the alternate E chord, _ index finger is pressing down on
the nut of the guitar, we then just slide our hand up one fret [F] like that _ _ _ and then you
just want to pick each of the strings to see if they're all ringing out.
[N] You want to check for dead notes or anything like that.
_ _ _ But that's basically how to master barre chords in 3 simple steps.
Again, step 1 was the index [A] finger, step 2 is the alternate E chord in the case of what
we're learning here, barre chords held in the shape of E and step 3 is simply just a
matter of putting them all together but in this case, for the F chord, it's just simply moving up.
If we were to do the A chord, we would be playing up here, [G] the G would be [Fm] here, the F there.
