      This video is published on my birthday so it must be good. ;). Thanks for the tip. It sounds so logical but it is good to hear it is this 'simple'. Only takes time. I'm practicing my changes and I'm getting faster but I think it will take months before I'm fast enough. Especially when I have to change for one count. Like F-barrre x8 , G x1, F-barre x7 in a song I'm practising now at a 105BPM.

    This helped me so much!! I started playing guitar in january (played ukulele for about three years before) so i’m getting use to everything with the guitar. What helped me mostly was when you were talking about that you needed to decide which fingers to put down first when you’re transitioning to the next chord. Thank you so much and good luck to anyone else reading this!

  • @retiredguyadventures6211
    @retiredguyadventures6211 4 года назад +1

    After years of putting them off I am forcing barre chords into my thick skull... What helps me a lot is timing how many chord changes I can do between two chords in one minute. I keep track of this so I have positive reinforcement of the progress I am actually making. This video helps a lot by suggesting to visualize the next chord before actually making the change. Thank you!

  • @marchallaert7372

  • @IntoTheVoid7
    @IntoTheVoid7 5 лет назад +2

    Great vid. Focusing on where your fingers have to go really helps. Just practiced changing from a G open chord to f bar chord for 7 hours straight and im finally starting to get it. Can smoothly transition playing at about 50 bpm. One thing that helped me learn was instead of putting the bar down first, which I was doing, I put all my other fingers down and then the bar. Just something you can try and see if it works for you.

    Not even practicing at the moment, but just watching this first video, I know you're an excellent teacher, at least for me, and definitely cleared my mind on how to begin practicing transitions. Even watching other videos, telling to practice the chords all the time and while multitasking, they didn't quite help the same way. I just felt so overwhelmed before and couldn't contemplate swapping to the Barre so quickly, regardless of seeing other people do it themselves. Thanks tons for the work you obviously put in! Keep it up! Instant sub and bell.

  • @user-kp1jk5fe4v
    @user-kp1jk5fe4v 6 месяцев назад

    Nice lesson. When doing the Am, I place the middle finger on the G string (and the ring finger on the D string). That way, when I move to an F or G bar chord, I simply slide the middle finger down along the string.

  • @richardclerc2502
    @richardclerc2502 5 лет назад +1

    this really helped and I practice transitioning from Open Chord to Bar chord, slowly and doing one or two fingers at a time. It really helps. I kept rushing to do the change and the strings were muted or wrong string and the sound was as you might imagine; TERRIBLE. I slowed down practiced the technique from the lesson and it is crisp and clear. speed does come later after muscle memory takes over. Just keeping it Simple has really helped. Good job Dude!! haha I saw this video month ago so I had time to practice on it.

    The thing is I can switch to an E rooted bar chord almost instantly about 85% of the time but I haven't practiced the A rooted ones as much, came back here to freshen up my brain, sometimes it's good to go back to the basics to get a new perspective on things
