Hey everyone . You can get a hand grip trainer and strengthen for Barre chords . I just used one at the end of every night before bed (That way I still have the rest of the day to play guitar) Just do it till your palm and index fingers cramp. This will get your index and thumb strength for the barre. The dexterity will still need to be learned . But this made my barre chords sound great. Takes a bit of work before bed.

I have now got to grips with E and A shape barre chords . I have learned the root notes on the E and A string up to fret 12. I have found the frets after 12 to be too small for me to make a barre chord .
It seems to be much easier to play barre chords on an electric guitar.

Salutations Mr. Crow ,

As a beginner I found your lesson on the dreaded bar chord. As you said practice, patience and persistence are key as well as positioning of the thumb! Bar chord definitely make it easier to navigate the fretboard. One difference I’ve noticed (for myself) is that the bar chords don’t sound as rich or full as the open chords.

Brian and Rob, you are correct about the specific chords listed, but note the careful use of the word “shape”: he’s referring to the overall shape of the chord, not the specific chord that is being played (which is the same shape as an open chord, just transposed higher by use of the index finger as a substitute for the capo). The F chords are based on the E shape, and the B chords are based on the A shape.

To illustrate this, play an E chord, but instead of using fingers 1, 2, and 3, use fingers 2, 3, and 4. Then put a capo on the first fret and play that E shape again. You’re now playing an F chord, because the capo raises the tones of the strings a half step. Now, remove the capo and replace it with your index finger. You’re still playing an F chord, with your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th fingers making an E chord half a step up.

This is what was meant

I’m with Brian. The E chords are F chords, and the A chords are Bb chords.
