Introduction To Barre Chords

In the video lesson below, Peter will be demonstrating the proper way to play barre chords. He will first use the G Major Barre Chord as an example.

Some key points to keep in mind when playing barre chords are:

• Place your other fingers on the appropriate notes  before you place your barre down
• Keep your barre finger as close to the fret as possible
• Your thumb placement should be about halfway down the back of the neck and between your index finger and your second finger
• Adjust the height of your index finger until you find a position that you are most comfortable with and one where none of the strings are muted.

Next, he will teach you 4 important Barre Chord shapes that every beginner should learn. I hope you find this video lesson on Barre Chords helpful.  Please feel free to leave any comments or questions in the comments box below.  Enjoy!
