i just noticed paul mccartney plays his barrechords like this. i learned to do it the other way, does this one have any advantages or is it just personal preference

[beachboytriad]

new and quite interesting way to do barrechords oh excuse me let me shake my hand i think its going to fall off. barrechords is sobs to play

[putblameonmame]

it hurts really bad to bend my thumb that way!

[CRAIGARRR]

Oh my! I must try this!! Sure is better than being frustrated and passing up playing a song because it is loaded with Barre Chords!! Thank you Clare!

[Depalla]

dang it i just tried every possible position with my left hand and i just cant get a clear chord sound because i cant bend down my thumb so far.. maybe my guitar neck is too thick.. i think ill stay with barre then

[guitashamilele]

you only need to use the very side of your thumb

[dondraken]

Thanks for sharing! Using the F form without the 6th string works well, and the thumb over the top is used a lot by the pros. I usually hold the neck like I'm bunting in baseball (thumb parallel to the neck).

[rwebb61]

To be honest its probably best to learn the way where you bar the fret with your index finger first, because reggae and ska are the only genres where these are used frequently so its helpful to know the other way.

great lesson

[armouredphoenix]

[simonbu91]

Thanks Clare. I am still having trouble with the thumb, but I am able to play the A bar chord(3rd finger flattened) with the e string sounding.

[pages86]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[fiddler1980]

thanks, that's what i'm looking for!

[java0033]

Does the thumb on the lowest string really matter or traditional barre chords with the first finger usable for ska?

[hughman174]

great trick, been having trouble myself play barres

[garethbawden]
