Thanks for watching and supporting MartyMusic! I've got some free courses at my site www.martymusic.com
Love your lessons Marty. Camera has been a bit out of focus for the past few videos (:
Hey Marty! Could you possibly do a lesson on AC/DC the razors edge? Thank you for your work!
Where’s the specific Barre
Chord Link you mention..?
@@BeesWaxMinder He mentioned it was on his site, which he posted above. Just went, one click here it is - www.martymusic.com/store/FNo3vzw2
I have a question can you do a tutorial video for the Halo 2 soundtrack Reclaimer I can't find anything on RUclips or Google for it. The only thing that is there is the audio. The soundtrack was composed by Marty O Donnell, Michael Salvatori and Steve Vai.
This is easy. Just learn to move your capo fast.
Hahaha Made me laugh!!
Thanks man, I’ll make sure to do that😂
😆💅
Wrong channel
Oh this is big brain time
I fear no man, but those chords scare me.....
Beginner here & YES.. I WAS just going to avoid them ALL TOGETHER bc Im only interested in playing for myself.. buttttt.. a challenge so I think I must.
One shudders to imagine what sounds lie behind that chord
Did you master them? And if so any tips? Thanks!
There's so many songs I would look at playing and then come across a barre chord and say "no."
I forced myself to play the F in Hotel California (thanks for that lesson Marty!) as a barre chord and after playing it a hundred times I finally started getting it.
I started doing that the same way. I forced myself to do the F in Hotel California and it has really opened a new door to tons of songs
This is literally what I’m doing rn I want to learn hotel California super good so I can just start playing barre chords super early in middle school
That’s how you do it. You force yourself to do it. You play it over and over again in a progression and you will definitely get it. Marty said “Don’t avoid them!”
Uhm I’m very possibly wrong , I usually am 😜 , but I think you mean F#..... unless your speaking of another part of the song that I’m not familiar with ( there are many lol)..... but the way I was taught and think Marty teaches that way to if my memory serves is Bm, F#M, A,E,G,D,Em, back to F#M to lead back start it all over again at Bm.
@@vicpnut1 I know I’m late but I think it’s this: capo on 2nd fret. Am, E7, G, D, F, C, Dm
the elbow trick literally improved my playing 10 fold (I still suck, but now I suck less so at least we're moving in the right direction lol)
Good job
Relatable
Same! Lol
your comment made me try that, more explicitly :D

I've only been playing guitar for five months. After some practice -- I can make the f-barre chord shape now with little hesitation -- although the B string still doesn't ring out. But I'm not worried. I remember the days when it took me two minutes just to get my fingers set. I know eventually everything will come together.
Edit: I’ve been playing for two years now and the idea of not being able to play barre chords seems like a foreign concept. They are beginner chords in my mind now. Never give up.
@Banter Shack for me it's the G string, it just feels impossible to make it ring if I'm not holding it with a different finger
@Banter Shack Wow, I just got one hell of motivation from that. Thanks man I'll def keep on practicing
Edit: I like your content, you just earned yourself a subscriber.
Thiss
The higher I go down the fretboard on Barre chords g and b gets harder no matter how hard I press into it lol
Inspiration
My dad is 60, barely knows what youtube is. I showed him your channel as im much more of a beginner. Anytime he has trouble learning a new song he always says "lets see how marty plays it!" lol cracks me up
The spray noises are the most important part I think. Its a must.
Barre Chords definitely are not easy at first, but they are convenient and useful when you get the hang of them!
Theyre necessary
A good middle step is to just play your open chords wherever you want mute or dont strum the open strings
They’re definitely tricky especially when you start stretching your fingers and play something that doesn’t sound nice
“You gotta play it bad... eventually... little less bad”
As Marty pulls his hand from his guitar and has a one on one with it.
Your hand responds, priceless!!!
A absolute king providing the free resources from learning guitar, if marty music wasn’t here, I would of never gave guitar another go
You just improved my "Barre" chords in seconds cause I can spell them correctly now!
The best video on Barre chords I have seen. Showing how the elbow position changes so much and how it affects the index finger alignment seems so easy, but no one ever goes to that level of detail.
Thanks Marty!
Due to injuring my elbow I can't rotate my wrist as flat (supination) so some chords were very hard. I found that barre chords were much easier when I used a strap and played standing up. This allows me to rotate the guitar at an angle to my torso and also have the headstock higher. This is a really great tip to check the alignment of your elbow to your wrist when working on barre chords.
Also, forcing yourself to use them in a musical context is the only way to really get good at them. When I'm jamming I can get away with the hendrix style chords that are the most comfortable to play, but other peoples songs often require a certain voicing that isn't always available. Barre chords really do open up the neck.
i agree, barre chords are much easier when you are playing standing up, since the guitar can be angled more.
Marty's online classes are cool
Love your Layne Staley avatar
Martys just cool anyway 🤟
Barre chords on classical guitar are another level
Lots of fun on a 12-string too.
@@Ziad3195 the strings are thicker and higher above the neck on a classical compared to an electrical
Ah I see the problem now, I need to go get a Gibson to be able to improve my Barr chords. Cheers
Marty, you need to do a ... here is where I started playing guitar, and how I ended up here today. We need to hear the backstory on you. The way you pick up someone's guitar and just absolutely blow them away is amazing (look at Beato's face and the owners of every Memphis guitar shop you visit). Give up the goods on the Marty!
Marty, I started playing guitar earlier this year at the ripe age of 30. I can’t thank you enough for your teaching methods - by a mile the best guitar tutorials on RUclips. I have progressed in the past 6/7 months so much more than I thought I ever could and the majority of my learning has come from your videos. I hope you know how much you have influenced me and countless others. You are a legend my friend please never stop teaching ❤
I might humbly add ...
1) Using a capo will dramatically reduce the finger strain needed to perform barre chords. It is a great training asset.
2) There is no shame in using your strumming hand to physically move your fretting fingers into their new positions for a while. Will-power and wish-power just aren't enough at first.
Love how Marty teaches things on the guitar I've been playing guitar since I was 10 now 67 I am a better guitar player now that I've ever been thanks to Marty's videos. I have learnt 50 songs from different things he has showed my newest song I learned to play was runaway Del Shannon a lot of the things he talks about I taught myself from watching people play in band and he breaks things down and makes it much easier then having books and going to a guitar instructor. Keep up the great work Marty you should show on one of your videos how to play ain't talkin about love my Van Halen I got a little of it worked out on my own but need help. Keep up the great videos, 🎸🎸🎸
He’s the best isn’t he
Out of all the online tutors he is the only one who instills me with confidence and to never give in
Top man ! Top teacher
I'm doing the course on barre chords and it's fantastic. Deep explanations into what's going on. Breaks it down into small steps. Pure Marty. Thanks for this.
So well explained. Great to see REAL basics of playing explained with simple clarity. Top stuff Marty!
The elbow tip has helped me so much. I now have a fighting chance of playing a Bm or an F most of the time. Thank you.
It took me too many years to realize that I don't have to play all strings at a time to make a chord.
Always sharing great knowledge Marty, thanks a lot and greetings all the way from Mexico !!
Thanks for the tips Marty. Three months in and feeling the progression already.
Been watching you for a year now...just bought the lifetime...can't say I regret it one bit! You're my top guy! I have been struggling with the dreaded Barre Chords, hoping this helps me.
I started to play guitar 6 months ago thanks to this channel , the first 3 months I learned fast then …. I met the bar chords… I had to come back to this channel and man this shoulder position trick is a life saving one , thank you from the bottom of my heart
Marty, I have been playing guitar for 5 years, and I watch your videos from learning a new song to Just simply going back to the basics. Bro you have completely changed the way I play and I am so thankful for you and your lessons, keep doing what you do and know that you got a good student out of it and a fan.. KEEP ROCKING ON !!!!!
This is such a nice complement to your Barre Chord Lesson! Thanks Marty you are the one
Just wanted to thank you so much marty! I've been following you since January this year and thanks to you I've learned a ton and progressed quite fast. I got barre chords down when I learned sultans of swing (great job on those tutorials btw) but I figured It couldn't hurt to watch this. This video did help me alot with the harder barre chords so thanks! Keep up the great work!
Oh my god, thank you so much. I'm a casual guitarist and I've been playing for a long time. I've been avoiding anything further down the neck because I can't seem to do any barre but B and F. When you gave the tip to pull a little back on the neck, I immediately tested it out and it sounds so much better.
Excellent instructions! Thank you
Thanks, Marty! I've been struggling with bar chords for like 3 months. Hope this vid helps
Awesome tips Marty. Thank you sir!
Thanks for this Marty, I remember I was watching a tutorial, forgot what song but you mentioned that no matter what just play the barre chords, even if they sound crappy. Been practicing and now 7/10 I get the b minor chord perfectly. I love you Marty
Awesome tips. Thanks for sharing.
Super helpful video Marty, thank you so much for sharing with us!
Great tips from a great teacher!! Thank you sir!!
By far the best guitar lessons of RUclips. You’ve taught me everything I know.
Learning barre chords now. Really helpful and encouraging tips here. Thanks!!!
Really helpful. Thanks Marty !
Thanks Marty! Always can trust watching a video from you and learning something.
Thanks Marty. Been struggling for a while and starting to get better. This helped!
Yooooo thanks Marty! I’ve been playing for years now and haven’t perfected my barre chord ever even though it improved over time. But this is just the cherry on top which made all my strings rung out nicely :)
This is excellent training. I always have a short hesitation getting my fingers into position on bars. This is going to really help. Thanks
Watching this video was a really big help, thanks
A much needed one!!! you're the best as always 👍👍
Marty your GREAT. You hit the nail on the HEAD with this lesson. Coming across this video help at my 57yrs I have picked up the ax again the one huge problem I have is barring and in the video you just showed me what I needed to do thank YOU I have to go and put your explanation to some good use I would love for you to do a video on fingering and reading problems for older people that would be an awesome video and if you did I will find them but if you didn't I'll look for them Marty you have improved my playing 100% even though it's still at the terrible stage please explain everybody what you been explaining that is going to sound shity at first for a while but they will find it rewarding believe me
Great class from a great teacher..
This is very helpful, thank you!
I needed exactly this. Thank you!
Excellent lesson. Thank you!
Learning bar chords and the notes of the top E and A string is priceless it's like the first step being able to comfortably play with other musicians and actually use music speak like this tune is a A to G progression and so on.. I know it was the first time I started to not sound like a complete noob at jam sessions which always makes playing with others and having self confidence
The tip on the elbow position is gold!
Thank you Martin.
Thanks my guy! This is a godsend. I have had a guitar for over a year now, but just started trying to seriously learn some basics. You have no idea how restrictive avoid Barre chords can be. Time to practice my c minor for dixieland delight
Just when I needed it the most Marty! Thanks man!
Thank you Marty for what you do. I have learned so much from your videos in this guitar journey of mine. I'm still pretty new, just started in 2017. With all of life's obligations I don't get a lot of time for practice. But thanks to your videos I am slowly making progress. You rock, man \m/ keep up the good work!
man i love this guys energy!! i already like this video more than the others lol
I think another point on barre chords is get a good guitar with nice action. Because you’ll find yourself getting a lot of cramp having to push down so hard to barre them.
I have muscle strength just from my Yamaha F310, but I went and bought a Eastman E1D and the action and guitar is just so much better.
so if you have a pretty cheap guitar it’s great to learn on but you have to realise buying a better guitar will certainly help things move forward. At least in my experience!
I agree. Low nut action is key and this is why most people think F barre chord is so difficult but the same shape up on the 7th fret is far easier.
Best online instructor ever because you take your time and are truthfull.
thank you for making a video on this i needed it!
Great recommendations thank you
Thanks so much Marty!
Amazing! Thank you!
Gosh I needed this. Thanks my man!
i am waiting for this video for long time thanks ♥️
Sooo crazy good lesson! unbelievable that those simple tricks with your arm position can make so huge difference. I feel it directly after watching this vid. Thank you Marty, no i go back and practise all these things! Have a great day.
Very helpful cheers !
I learn so much from this channel.
Very helpful. Thank you.
This helped me over a hump more than any other advice all week, thank you very much!
Elbow placement helped me out SO much. Thx !!
Thanks for your hardworking
i want to thank you for making the videos, and the programs for free! this particular skill i've been working on, and one thing you taught here about pulling the neck towards you a bit to give that strength, did the trick for me! i've done everything else, and couldn't get the high two strings especially the b to ring clear i pressed so hard! but that tip did it for me, saves my hands too, don't need to press any harder just that tip. so big thanks!
the elbow thing is SO helpful thank you
This is 100% what i needed to hear. thank you very much
Marty, I first picked up a guitar and searched up guitar lessons for beginners and I found year videos and you are very helpful, and you are very specific on what to do which I loved when learning, then I found out that barre chords were actually a thing, I thought it was just open chords, then I tried barre chord, and it sounded crappy and did not understand why, then I searched up barre chords and found your video and you helped me understand it so well, I did not hide from them and never gave up and got better. I just want to thank you for your lessons :)
I seriously like the way you teach. Thank you
Thanks for helping 💕
Thank you Marty
Marty,... you're awesome, buddy. Keep up the good work. I love your style, & as soon as Mom gives me my allowance this month, I'm signing up for the whole show.
Another helpful and awesome guitar tutorial. It really helped me so much as a guitar beginner. Thank you for sharing
That was really enjoyable. Nice one Marty 👍
Thanks Marty, that's a great lesson
that elbow adjustment HELPED!!!!!!
Been struggling finding a way to do barres since I picked up the guitar last summer. Awesome vid!
Your method seems to be the best one. It worked out for me. Thanks Marty!!!
I had so much trouble with barre chords. thank you Marty!
that elbow trick did it for me!you the man marty!
Thanks man that's a great lesson and I think it's not getting any easier than it is keep on the good work and Thanks again
Best lesson I've watched on barre chords, and I've been watching a few. Thanks so much,
Thank you for making this
Does anyone hands got sore even after getting good at barre chords?
All the time. Been playing for 5 years
Sore hands, fingers and forearms! Squeezing down on the guitar neck like that is a workout
Helps to find a bit of your finger that contacts better.
My guitar teacher has been playing for 30+ years and he still gets tender fingers after playing for a while.
take time to build up strength. If you have an option to practice on an electric it's much easier, helps build confidence. But keep working the acoustic as it'll build up strength, being as hard as it is! Plus it helps with quality - muted strings, fret buzz, etc.
Amazing. Been on and off with learning guitar (mostly off) for about 20 years. Always hit a wall (F and B) and stopped playing. After following the chapters in Martys course on Barr Chords I've finally got them. For some reason they just click and can now play them. Don't what I'm doing different to how I've tried it in the past, but can't thank you enough, cheers dude!
Thank you for your help Marty!
your so grateful mr.Marty. Appreciate your work 🙏🏻
This really helped me with this chord thx
Thank you for the elbow hint about half the time I was getting the twang on several strings. This cleared up a lot thanks!
