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.

@robertbrotherton2541 2 года назад

Build the chord from the low note to the high note may be the best piece of advice I have ever heard/seen on a RU-vid video. So simple but so helpful. Thank you.

I'm doing his UDEMY videos. Highly reccomemded. For those of you who thinks he talks to much, to each his own. His style is rather disarming and relaxing. Bottom line, he is a great teacher. One of the very best on RU-vid .

@zenzen7832 2 года назад

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!

@arkapravadutta8319 6 лет назад

I really love it when a person can teach well. Its a virtue. And you sir are a good teacher. Thank you for breaking down the technique and making it easy for a newbie with no master, like me. Thank you sensei....

@dillonessigman2689 5 лет назад

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.

@IntoTheVoid7 5 лет назад

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.

@retiredguyadventures6211 4 года назад

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!

@robinlatham1 3 года назад

@marchallaert7372 4 месяца назад

@richardclerc2502 5 лет назад

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

@chevyfinn 5 лет назад

My problem is the strings seem to mute when i am going from open chord to barre chord , usually lightly upstrum when i change chords, how do I prevent this mute when I change open to barre chord?

@DuongNguyen-lh3ru 4 года назад

You're doing too fast. People said this over and over again, Erich said it in this video too but I'm gonna say it again. Do it slowly and accurately first, speed will come later as you practice more.

@10vingers 4 года назад

@@DuongNguyen-lh3ru Yup, I found this out with my typing lessons. Same principle. Be accurate and speed will come, and it is true. We need to do it that way and be patient.

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.

Thank you for teaching me this technique. I’ve been practicing bar chord switching in this way. But I still cannot switch these chords quickly after a month’s practices. Is it normal to spend months to practice bar chord switching? Or maybe there’s something wrong in my practice. I’m so dejected.

@RvLver 2 года назад

I have been practicing the transition between open and barre chords for 3 months, I am still struggling... My teacher told me to form the barre chord shape in the air before putting it down on the fretboard, just like in this video. I am practicing super slowly but it still feels pretty awkward. I know it takes time to master, and I don't mind, I just hope I am not practicing the wrong way

@jaypaatil 6 лет назад

What's difference between open chords and bar chords??

@yourguitarsage 6 лет назад

Open chords have strings that you aren't fretting with your fingers. With a bar chord you use one finger to fret all strings at once, and then the rest of your fingers to make a chord

@helpinghand123 2 года назад

Summary for those in a rush - Think about /Visualize where the next chord will be and how it will look (where fingers will go) while playing the previous chord. Go slow (one note at a time). Repeat.

For me, it's a lot harder than open to open because you hold the neck in a completely different way. You need to drop your wrist way down and put your thumb on the back. It yeets you out of the comfort zone.
