Heyy -- so how's Bb coming along for you? Don't give up on it yet, it's only been a week! It might take you a month to get the hang of it, and that's totally okay. A month is nothing in the grand scheme of things. Share this series with someone who needs to learn to love barre chords. Really appreciate you all learning with me ~Kevin
What surprises me about this barre chord is the fact that new muscles in the arm! and the hand! and the fingers! need to be engaged to be able to play it. Surprise! Thanks for your clarity, Kevin. I am still on the first step but will keep working on it:-)
This was the comment I needed D: Thanks babe
Hey I can't seem to get the shape barring only the 2 strings. When I bar all four it's a lot easier for me. Is that fine or should I work on baring just the 2 strings. edit nevermind you awnsered that in the in the end
Hi Kevin, how do I access a simple program for barre chords on the baritone?
Coming on nicely great video Kevin

I hate it but I’ll do it.
As a 70 year old guitarist who has been playing for 55 years, and is now dealing with arthritis in both hands, this is the perfect teaching tool to re-learn to play barre chords on my ukulele, so thank you very much for your help.
Question: Has the spelling of “Barre” ever bothered you? Or are you just desensitized at this point.
Jimmy page misin abi?
I want to add - you’re teaching is so gentle - I feel peaceful and happy after your lessons. Thank you so much.
No one really talks about how much this hurts, do they? Great video, mate, absolutely loved it!
I am a teacher with 30 years of experience and appreciate your patience and attention to detail as your progress along your lesson. Believe me, the repetition of skills are helpful and all your tips are much appreciated. Ben 61 yr old Melbourne Australia
After 2 months I wanna say I learned to lay down all the fingers at the same time with the help of metronome. Kevin, I always leave comments on your videos, starting with the thanks words. U can't imagine how u have helped me and help. Tysm. I have no words to describe how u helped me, how I love, respect, and appreciate you.
Thank you so much for this! Give this man a medal for best teacher everrrr! I have never even held a Uke in my life, bought one, and in the first week, am now paying: In the Jungle, Have You Ever Seen the Rain, and Suspicious Minds, plus some barre cords, and multiple strum patterns. Even along with the cd's. IN ONE WEEK!
For time immemorial, I've suffered under the gaze of the loathsome Bb chord. But no longer! Kevin has bestowed upon me the tools to overcome it 🎉😂
I heard so many people say dont lay your finger flat and roll it on the side. Your the first who i have heard say make it really flat. Im gonna practice because i really wanna get this down. Ukulele means a lot to me and i cant afford lessons so youtube is all i got.
Bought a ukulele this January because I was told how easy it is to play. That C chord drew me in! But I have been fighting with several barre chords. I love your exercises! And your encouragement! Finally there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you!!!!!
You can do it, April. Time, patience and determination go a long way. Which ones are you struggling with the most? I have some worksheets + exercises that I think would help over on my site if you’re ever interested in checking those out. Thanks for learning with me :) - Kevin www.allforuke.com/lessons
Hi, I’m 65 yo. Just beginning with ukulele. Absolutely love it. I have small hands. I have been struggling with bar chords. This lesson is great. Thank you 😊👍
Older gent here and I find the full barre with index easier... GR8 lesson and THNX!
I love how supported I feel watching this....thanks for giving me hope lol
U also have a uke based name😂
I found the channel 3 days ago for practising finger picking and now became an absolute fan of the way you teach everything…and also whenever you tell to smile I realise I’ve been frowning and tensing up the whole time and burst into a smile…I’ve your videos so much…❤️❤️
You're an amazing teacher and I am so thankful for all your wonderful videos - especially during isolation!
Christmas music and easy playing on the Ukulele.
I really love how you teach, you dive straight into the lesson and not to much (blablabla) like some other teachers. I hated that chord and now I am “hopeful “ I did all of your fingerpicking days to and I learned so much! Thank you
There are some good teachers on the internet, Terry Clark, Brandon Acker, Mike Lynch (deceased), but this guy, geez, his approach is fantastic---calm, clear, fun, supportive.
Thanks for being so encouraging! Take it slow, don’t get discouraged, You can do it! I love that ❤️👏 it is difficult when starting.
In some ways I find barre chords challenging but mostly they’re discouraging. Truthfully when I come across songs that contain them I move away. My goal is to become a decent player so I’m sticking with it. Your lessons and encouragement are greatly appreciated.
Keep at it and try to have some fun with it!
A big step made ! Excellent advice 22:24 ! thanks a lot (and you're right we play better when smilling)
I’m a lefty learning the righty way. Have thought about restringing but probably get more confused.
Challenging, placing fingers at same time on strings with plenty of direction by you. Perseverance.
This was a game changer for me! I started playing ukulele in May, 2020. I've learned so much, really nailed down a lot of other skills, but couldn't land a proper barre chord for the life of me. Slowing down and going back to the basics really gave me an opportunity to see where I was going wrong (instead of skipping that one part of that song lol!). I can't wait to watch the rest of the series, happy playing and good vibes my friend. Thank you!
You're still very early in the game and already going through barre chords, that's great! You have to play them a little every day to build the comfort. If you're interested in more resources including practice tracks, zoom lessons, worksheets and charts, drop by my site and have a look. All the best - Kevin | allforuke.com
Thank you so much. You are an excellent teacher and encourager. I have avoided barre chords and always felt like I didn't have the strength but you have given me encouragement to tackle the challenge step by step. I'm sticking with you and barre chords.
Your series of courses is marvellous
Thanks Chris - appreciate you learning with me! - Kevin
Started learning several days ago, and I can say, It's get better, slow, but gets. Kevin, I wanna say THANK YOU SO much for your support, I get more support from you than from anyone, tysm for your lesson. Thank to you, I see more progress. U r really the best teacher on Earth. I'm from Russia, but I watch you because you explain everything much better than any other teachers. Love u sm. I know, u don't believe u r great teacher, but you are.
I love your smiling reminder. Tysm again
I'm struggling with lending down all my fingers at the same time now.
Sooooo helpful - Kevin you are a very good teacher - thank you
Thank you for another wonderful teaching tutorial. I just bought a ukulele your lessons are amazing! Yes I’m remembering to smile.
I have been struggling with the barre chords OMG, was getting very discouraged , BUT now I have hope again all because of your lessons. Thanks Kevin!
I can't believe how easy you made this. Big thank you!!!!
This lesson is invaluable to me. I have so many songs that use Bb and have been really struggling with these old arthritis hands and extremely long fingers. Planning to try the proper way, seriously. If that doesn’t work out, your side note about barring the whole fret might help me make this chord work so I can enjoy playing more of my favorite songs. Thanks Kevin for all the hard work on the lessons to deliver and most of all thanks for reminding us to be gentle with our self criticism. It’s meant to be enjoyable not a chore. Right!
Thanks for your encouragement and helpful videos.
Just starting my journey and these lessons are invaluable.
75 not-out here in the UK, never have been able to do a barre chord in 50 years of trying on the guitar. I've a crooked index finger, the top joint bends towards the middle finger since I caught it in a fridge door as a child. And today - woohoo - I managed a moderately clean Bb. Full barre chord is still going to be a major challenge, but it's a start! Thanks so much.
Thank you Kevin that has really helped me to try and master this chord. I couldn`t help but look at the expressions on the faces of the dog and reindeer behind you.
Thank you for this, I like your teaching style and consistency!
Argh....The dreaded barre chords! Such a helpful tutoria, thanks a lot! (my index finger is killing meeee!!)
I bought my uke about a month ago and I've been learning to play it during the lockdown here in Colombia. I think I finally found my instrument. Your lessons are helping me a lot, thank you very much!
P.S. I already took your strumming series, love it
A thorough teacher really lucky to have come across this video and the teacher of course. Watching from mohali Punjab India 🙏🙏👍
Wow! You are an amazing teacher. You explain so well, in great detail. I am also a teacher (not ukulele), but I admire you!
Thank you so much for posting this barre chord series. Your videos have really helped me improve my ukulele skills. Your teaching method is very informative and easy to follow.
thank you Kevin. Love Miss Flo , Vancouver, BC. Canada
Hey there, a beginner here. Thanks for this video, it helps a lot though its a little bit frustrating because i have small fingers but i still want to enjoy it. Can't wait to watch day 2 after a week of practice 😅 Thanks again, God bless you more!
PS: it's cool to have a dad like you✨
You've been a great help to me as a beginner. Those tips are really something, thank you. More power
Wow! A barre chord series! Yes!!! I need to catch up on your fingerpicking series
Happy Thanksgiving to you Kevin and your family.
thank you so much ! i finally started avoiding those chords and it makes me so happy when i feel like it gets getting better and better every time
❤I love your clear and methodically ordered way of teaching❤❤❤❤
Just found you Kevin......I was about to give up on Barre Chords but think I’ll persevere and give it a crack. Thanks for the excellent tutorial!
~Thank you sooooo-much for the way you teach us...enjoy watching...&...learning!! Love the stuffed-dogs in the back.🙂
Awesome working hard on this one
Thank you very much for the lesson!
I have always given up on Barre chords. No one explained it before in a way you did. Thanks
Hi KEVIN. Thanks again for another great series. You are a excellent teacher. I have tried barring with the tip of index finger To hard as I have a thumb that is permanently stiff from a ruined operation. But I will be able to Barr the full fret I hope so I will go with full Barre once again thank you for your channel I look forward to it every week. You are the best teacher on u tube Kind Regards from Western Australia 👏👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Kevin. I’ll keep trying after listening to your tutorial
Awesome video. Absolutely loved the way you broke it down. Thank you so much.
Epic Topic Kevin! The best approach I've seen, very detailed (thumb position ...!) and the most progressive. With yours advices and a little patience, everyone will get there. A BIG thank you for explaining so well all this 😘!
Ready for Day 2?
More than Ever! ;)
Ooooh this is rad, thanks for posting!
I hated bar chords HATED! Bar Chords but you are right i need this thank you
Amazing Kevin! Really helped 🙌🏾
I love your tuition Kevin.
Nice break down. Great teaching. Thanks 😊!
Great. Thank you. Really feel like I'm getting there.
Kevin Thank you for your patient great video on bar chords. I now no longer AVOID THEM!!!! Maureen in Montreal
Excellent class!!!
This one is kind of difficult. Fingers really hurt after some time but I am enjoying it anyway.
Thanks so much with small, old hands it's a challenge. it really helps to put your fingers all down at the same time.
thank you Kevin for this lesson ! Even if this one is a bit too late for me (I manage quite well the Bb chord after a lot of work and patience), yours explanations are very usefull, same for the tricks. I was busy to look this video last week but, as the 2nd day lesson is out, I wanted to look at this one first. You're a good teacher, taking time for explanations and a very progressive way. Even for a non english locutor, yours lessons are really great and easy to follow ! Again, thank you from New-Caledonia.
THANK YOU!!! I FINALLY GOT IT!!!
starting day 2 tomorrow!!
forgot to add Im so glad you told me about the easy way for Bb as my index finger has been shortened due to an injury as well I cant lay it flat Thanks for that .
I'm very slow with my muting but I'm keeping at it Thank you i really like you lessons looking for an easy" blowing in the wind "session ukulele
Loving these lessons Kevin. Unfortunately where I live in Northern California we will be on a power outage, (for public safety reasons), for the next five days. So, when the power comes back on I'll be playing 'catch up'. Something to look forward to.
Sorry about my question....You gave me the answer when I got to the end of the tutorial... All is good!
Wow thank you 😊
You are a great teacher! Explained so well, hard to find.
Hello Kevin, Iwas going to try learning "Can"t Help Falling In Love". The sheet that has cords used does not specify the B7 cord. But there on page three the B7 comes up. So luckily you have these barre chord exercises. I'll just have to put the song aside for awhile. Thank you for the exercises. David K.
Thanks, very informative, useful tips 😊👍👌
thank you!!
Thankyou Kevin. 🎶
Hi Kevin, after 25min I feel I will be able to play barre chords very soon, there are some dead notes now but I feel I can get rid of them slowly. Thanks for the great lessons.
Great informative video and so well explained Cheers Wal from O.Z
Much easier with the cheat portion thank you 😊
Hi Kevin, don't know what you'll think of this but due to a combination of short fingers and arthritic first joint on index finger, I found Bb a bit of a challenge to be honest, however I can get a reasonably consistent clean sound by using index on A, middle on E, ring on C and pinky on G, as it will reach that far. I am managing to cope with the chord changes you suggest, just. great lesson as always
I come back to do my revision!
this was great Kevin, still didn't get it but trying. tnx
Thanks Kevin I have a hard time with bar chords I think with this practical way to practice I will at least get the B chord down.
Solid video. What helped me get the Bb chord was to press slightly with the side of my index!
whoa! this is new
Thank you 🙏 kevin
Would love a series of barre chords for the baritone
I force myself to practice barre chords, so this should be good. Looking forward to it. Maybe incorporate some of the strumming from that course into this as well?
Good idea - I actually incorporated one of the strums from the Kickstart Series that is very simple. Really trying to keep the rhythm simple so the focus is on the fretting hand.
Thank you 😍
🤙
First time I've watched you. Very good and very patient and detailed. You are absolutely right about practicing this on the 5th or 7th fret. I kept getting muted E and A string once I tried to place my middle finger. But moving to the 5th fret was exactly as you said. Thank you.
Barre chords are a doozy! Thanks for learning with me 😎 If you’re interested in more learning tools, drop by my new site and check out my song sheet library. lesson PDFs, and practice tracks. I really think they’ll help you advance your skills faster! - Kevin | www.allforuke.com/Lessons
I will never give up on this lesson. 💪😥
"You can smile." XD
6:31 Have I heard that before? Oh yes I have, lol! Not giving up though.
I smiled!
Super great lesson, THANX! I would add that having a good setup on the instrument is so important. A lot of players are trying to play their ukulele fresh out of the box it came in without having it set up for ease of playing. Uneven frets? Too high string action? Problems like that can make barre chords a living hell! LOL
Nice, I get notified in email inbox the day before the your video comes out. I don’t get notification when it comes out. I have to remember and go looking for it. I just thought you may like to know that info. I am subscribed to your channel and it doesn’t always show up on my you tube home page.
