I don't know about you, but I have found bar chords to be
one of the most frustrating and painful guitar techniques
there is.
I'm not going to mince words here, they are a major
challenge.
So why even use guitar bar chords in your music? Why not
stay with open chords?
Good question.
Here is my attempt at an answer.
There are quite a few situations where a particular chord is
almost impossible to finger in an open chord. Also, bar
chords can be quite handy to grab while you are soloing or
doing whatever you do further up the guitar neck away from
the open chord positions.
Bar chord mechanics - put those muscles to work
As you might know already a bar chord is a type of chord
where the index finger is used for another guitar nut.
You could also think of it like a capo (a device that clamps
onto the guitar neck to position the nut anywhere you want.)
Hand strength for Bar chords.
You can have the slickest prettiest chord chart all laid out in
front of you, a $4000 dollar guitar a $3000 custom built kick
butt amp with the finest guitar effects and gadgets in the
world today.
But, if you don't have the hand strength and dexterity to do
the job you might as well buy a kazoo and get your Hendrix
licks down with that.
Make no mistake there is no substitute for strong nimble
hands.
But most of us don't start with hands that can crush rocks and
fingers that can trip the light fantastic right away.
Give it to me straight Doc, is there any hope for me?
Well first of all I'm not a Doctor, But I will tell you this. Be
sure to check with a Medical doctor if you have any pain in
your hands. They could save your hands and your career as a
guitarist.
OK, what is this big secret tip that will make using the great
downloadable bar chord chart and bar chords, in general, a
breeze?
How to play bar chords the easy way -
If your anything like me when I was first learning to play bar
chords I would clamp my hand around the guitar neck like I
was trying to strangle a goose that was trying to kill me and
my family.
That's a great way of not only making it sound really bad, but
also a great way to send your hands into spasms for two
weeks.
Instead of clamping down with all your might on your hands
trying to get that bar chord to sound right, use you thumb
behind the neck as a clamping lever and pull back with your
triceps muscle.
Just pull your elbow on your fretting arm straight backwards
and use the pressure that you produce from that to clamp the
fretting hand around the neck.
This is a revelation that I found to be the trick to making bar
chords a breeze.
