Great vid Kevin, Vicky and Maggie May! Even though I'm an advanced beginner, you guys have helped me cement the "Barre" Please keep producing straight forward, approachable and friendly content!! Love it!!

You the man. King of the campfire music. Thanks so much for your help.

I always trust a man with his Dog (Maggie Mae). Your lessons are great slow and easy to understand. Much appreciated.!!!!

Great video. I had given up learning how to play one of my favorite Decemberists songs because of the cursed B-minor. This makes all the difference. The wrist tip alone is huge! Thanks for posting

Thanks for doing this video. You're very good at breaking down the mechanics of playing. Cheers!

I love the way you teach! It’s so easy to follow. Greetings from South Africa 🇿🇦

I really like your videos, and may I suggest a further tip for learning bar chords? Which is to learn to play Amin and Emaj with fingers 2, 3 & 4, rather than 1, 2 & 3 - when these are called for in a song. That way, you develop muscle memory in those three fingers in advance of playing a bar chord.

Hi there , im from the Netherlands , your lessons are easy to follow and really helpfull thx so much 👍👊

Golly, the to- of tucking I. The elbow made all the difference in playing Barr chords. Maybe I will get there some day!! Thank you.

Thank You for explaining the barre chord setup, yup I’m o e of those people that shy away from songs with barre chords 🤷🏼‍♀️ hey I’m just getting the C chord LOL and suggestion if you slide the Am chord down to the 3rd fret it is a easy Bm and sounds pretty close to the barre chord version and for this 68 yr old a heck easier - my wrist just can’t do barre chords

Thanks for 10 years I've been trying to play guitar and the road has been bumpy due to not being able to play the dreaded Barre Chord. It's so simple now I've seen this video many thanks from Christopher in Wales.

Thanks for breaking it down for us. Great videos.😊

Thank you Kevin for another inspiring video on the 'tough' chords. Yeah, daily practice with 'incremental' progress should help in getting it perfect. Meanwhile, I always look forward to your RU-vid channel's mascot, alias Magiemae (excuse me if misspelled) coming for her treat. Wish you and your family a great weekend. Cheers! New Delhi

I'm getting there with barre chords can do the f shape barre and move up and down the neck now moving onto the b barre and moving between f and b but it's just practice

Thank you for making this video

Picked up on a tip I hadn't tried, Thanks again for great lessons!!

Excellent

Great lesson, I’ve been avoiding barre chords for decades. My favorite guitar is 45 years old w almost flat frets1-3, I gotta select another guitar to learn this, I just figured this out, likely the reverse also, high action makes barre difficult. Gotta find my happy medium setup😂

Cold by Chris Stapleton is a great song to work on Barres. Slow pace and lots of ‘em! Love your channel!

Also thanks for the specifics of elbow, arm, wrist and thumb positioning. I usually rest my D guitar on left leg, wondering if I need to bring it over for barre to get more grip?

Thank you for your videos

can you do a lesson on transition between barre and open chords, because i can play both but changing, is a nightmare

This is fantastic am just starting out your lessons are well just nice to follow

Only the Bm gives me fits. Been playing for over a decade.

Very good instructor. Thank you.

Kevin, thanks for another great lesson. When we first pick up the guitar and decide we will be serious…….which just maybe the biggest factor in our skill development……commitment……if we initially learn our basic open chords with the middle, ring and pinky finger wouldn’t barre chords come easier? I didn’t learn that way but sometimes wonder……

Great lesson Kevin.

Amazing Teacher :O 10/10 !!!! I enjoyed the way you teach. (sub/like/shared)

Nice song

Kevin I’m going on over a year and the last 3 months I’ve been practicing this Bm almost daily. It’s still hit and miss and not natural. Like it’s a struggle. Moat the time my pinky is the issue not getting where it needs to be. But is this unusual at this point? Should I just throw in the towel and accept that maybe barre chords are not something I can do? I mean who takes this long to finally get it? Thanks for any advice you can send me. Ryan 😊

Kevin, I can play the barre chords and they sound clean but in transition during a song like G to Bm I just can’t land it. I don’t have the muscle memory. I’ve been trying for a year to just land the barre chord during songs like I do open chords and my punk usually doesn’t get there in time. It’s really frustrating because I can strum and play pretty good but I just can’t switch on the fly to the barre chord fast enough and I have pauses when playing. Any thing you can suggest because I’ve all but given up on them. Thanks! -Ryan

How do we join your membership because I can’t join from phone?

Fractured my left thumb many years ago. So prolonged pressure from barre chords can be very painful for me.

great if you have long fingers :)

Giving up playing as have tried to learn barre chords for almost 15 months, and still cannot do it

Maggie May is precious. She needs her s little guitar.

It's so hard I am a beginer but I just can't make it 🤦‍♀️
