TIPS & ADVICE - BARRE CHORD EXCERCISES - Taught by "UKULELE MIKE"

[letitsnowization]

hey mike thank you so much for all these awesome videos! funnily enough i dont seem to have much problems with barring as show it in your video, but going from one chord (G e.g) to a barre chord is really diffucult as the position of ones thumb is so much different when barring.

do you have any tips for that? cheers!

You've helped me so much, thank you Mike, don't know where I'd be without all your excellent videos

One thing that also helps me with barre chords too is to move your finger a little closer to the fret and if necessary use an additional finger to give support IF you still need it. Mike's instruction here though is the best way to do it. Learning UKE and PLAYING UKE has been the best thing I've done for myself in 2010 and a big thanks to all the work that Mike has poured into it!

You know your stuff.

Tks! Mike. I've stayed away from bar-chords just because I thought were impossible for me to make! Your explanation about the muscle development turned on the light!

Thanks, Mike.

Thanks for that,

weird thing is I don't feel strained doing bar chords on the guitar but I do on the ukulele. Who says the Uke is childs play.

[MusicTeacher2010]

@layahma I agree. . . Same goes for the mandolin. My theory is that the neck is so narrow, it somehow forces the fngers to use even different muscles then those on guitar barre chords. Also, the strings are generally much closer so getting a clean sound with two or more fingers added to the barre chord make it an issue too
