Hard? Barre chords are 100x easier than open chords, especially on electric guitar. People think they're hard because they start by learning open chords and then stop. Those who continue on to learn barre chords will find that they're actually much easier.
Just keep playing. Eventually after like 8-9 months I could suddenly just do them so
it's a dexterity thing .. some people have small hands and less joints and their hands are weak.
Everyone who is having difficulty, the trick is not pressing your finger harder, it is about rotating your wrist toward your body (clockwise) and the leverage that creates does the heavy lifting.
What amp or setup makes the guitar sound like that
I'm a beginner and the fretboard off my guitar as bigger than my index finger so I end up not covering all of the strings
"The barre chord is hard because you have to barre and than chord" ahh
the glaze this mofo gets is crazy
I have some problem with the middle finger to play the bar chord properly while playing say any trick
Hes such a twink
and here I was trying to choke my guitar to death… the thing about kinda using the side of your finger saved me lmao
The side of the finger tip really helps
Bros a legend I finally did it
Looks odd
Terrible tattoos
Stopped looking
Made comment

I was looking through so many other videos. This is the only one that made sense and helped me out. I was using the fat of my finger instead of the side
Man that Barre chord is the first chord of a Polyphia song tho
Bro playing barre chord on electric guitars and saying they are hard
He should def remove that awfull demonic lookin demon off his neck but i guess hes trying to push that movement on to the masses, reminds me of someone who want to look like edward scissor hands. Welp with a tat like that looks like another person who sold there soul possibly, most likely"
Quitting guitar because of this guy

Now how do you do this without muting the strings

I mean, hes on an electric guitar
I did the Barre using the side of my finger for barring and it works😭
Idk who he is but he's one of theost gorgeous people I've ever seen 🙏🏻😭
Bar chords have high floor and low ceiling. Use size 9 strings and get used to do simple chords, go around the fretboards until you feel comfortable
Jesus Christ loves you so much. He d*ed so we can live. It’s not too late to turn to him. God bless you all.❤
I’m 2 weeks into being self taught and I only play barre cords
Ehhh you don't really place your entire index finger into a 'bar' shape for a barre chord 😅 you only need to cover the bottom two strings and the bass/root note with your index finger, your 'bar' is actually kinda curvy 😅 people do play a full bar though; it just takes a year or two for your hand to actually become strong enough to hold it fully, practice on an electric guitar and in a comfy position as seen here by this dragon ball Z character; playing a heavenly cozy Ibanez, do not learn on an acoustic! 😅 the song 'Bother' by Corey Tayloy/Stone Sour is the perfect 'one stop shop' for learning barre chords techniques👍😇🫒
I'm a guitarist so it was easy for me 😁
ahhhh this shi hard!!!!
no offence brother but once try the same with an acoustic guitar
It’s hard for beginners cause fingers hurt
🤮 🤮
it really doesn’t buzz on electric even him without distortion its buzzing man this is why I want an electric 🥀🥀
I don’t recognize this lady, but she reminds me of someone I do know
