Bar Chords Made Easy for Guitar (The F Chord) Video Lecture - Guitar Become

okay so here's basically every guitarist
ever after they've been playing for a
little bit so with a a minor I feel good
see well gee I'm on a roll the bar chord
it's caused many troubles for musicians
since the beginning of time I once had a
guy tell me that his fingers were too
small and likened them to sausages and
that's why you couldn't play Barre
chords I saw his fingers they weren't
sausages and you know what that's just
an excuse
anybody can put your bar chords in fact
you don't even have to play bar chords
as bar chords like the F is you loop
first one and a lot of people have
problems with because it's written like
this I'm cord trace you have to throw
this slap this one finger hold the
pressure down get these in here but what
people don't like people don't realize
it is you don't need to play all six of
these notes to play an F in fact an F
which is short for F major and F major
chord is only three notes another word
for three note chord is a triad the
triad that makes up an F majors at F and
a and 2 C so it's really only three
notes like this right here is a
perfectly acceptable way to play an F is
just like a see you move your ring
finger and middle finger down to string
so you're playing these paths easy you
don't even need to know the names of the
individual notes it's just the shape
like a minor you had no problem with
right that's kind of like one of the
easier first chords that you learn well
if you take an E minor
and just move it down a fret and up a
string these three
those are the same three notes to give
you an athlete major now you're
sacrificing a little bit of volume
because you're in the playing three
string instead of all six and you have
to be a little more specific as to which
strings you hit but doing this way will
open up a lot more possibilities like a
minor
see same shape just move it diagonal one
and this applies to every major chord
that you could ever want it doesn't have
to just be an ass alright play like this
like this you could play an f-sharp
instead of playing Barre chord F sharps
move it down here F sharp or F sharp if
you want even get a fuller tone do this
do the whole chord without the bar just
use your index finger here so I'm
playing the middle four strings I'm
sorry you can even use these
substitutions for chords you already
pretty good at like a G major chord you
can play it just like this so if you're
playing like slide that whole shape down
to make a G and it gives you a different
voicing I different type of G major
chord so anytime you see it a chord that
you're not totally familiar with don't
fear it you don't have to bar it
eventually you might want to learn it
you know and over time your fingers will
become stronger inhale get stronger and
it'll be a lot easier but especially on
acoustic guitar it's tough when you're
first starting out it kind of it's
frustrating because you're good at other
chords and bar chords kind of feels like
you're holding you back it's always just
hopes to do for that you just have to
find the root note you're gonna act this
is the root note here so just that shape
under it you're not even playing the
root note there's still a F in here
f sharp G g-sharp a major so I'll just
differently is that you can kind of
substitute smaller chords that a little
more manageable at first instead of bar
chords and it'll help you to switch
better
another thing is hard to switch from
here to here really quickly like that
like for right here here it's kind of a
tough you know so why don't just make a
little community on yourself sometimes
you'll accidentally hit an open string
like for this effort here you might hit
the low E string sometimes it sounds
cool you know you just get lucky with
stuff like that once you know all the
keys and stuff you can do that more
purposefully but at first you take this
out making this f this F whatever is
easier then just kind of throw it all
around the neck there you go Barre
chords forget about it easy
