hey to everybody who says " I can't do barre chords " I felt like this for a long time, but one day I sat down and put my mind to it. Think about it. everyone who cant do barre chords just stops and says I can't do it. Actually try the finger positions a little each day.
tip: let your index finger focus only on the 5th and 1st string. that way you don't have to push your index finger all the way down ( let it bend a little ). Also curl your index finger a bit. Believe me, it works. Im 5'3 tall and have short fingers ( gives you an idea of the size of my hands ).
I have a tip that is WAY too easy and it takes the stress away, although it's not a perfect solution. Do exactly what he does until the end:
Pinky - 4 fret, 3 string
Ring - 4 fret, 4 string
Middle - 3 fret, 2 string
**Index - 2 fret, 1 sting
The 5th and 6th string are left untouched, and you have a lazy chord. It CAN sound cool even with a full G chord for example beside it. It is also possible to play all the chords for that particular song in a shortened way to match. <3
how's this difficult? no offence, to anyone, but this is one of the easiet chords i've ever played, but it could be because i have the hands of a ten year old girl
@Gaphias13 You think Bm is bad? Just wait until you get to Fm. I've been playing for more than seven years and even now, when I see the chord structure of a song with Fm in it I go, "Welp, I guess I won't be covering this one any time soon."
@PseudoKitsch Hahah Yeah that was the rage of the moment... like nearly 5 months ago... I can now do the chord though... it just takes some time to get it right :D
I'll look that chord you mentioned and try it too xp, never seen it xP! I play guitar for fun and I'm not musically educated... sometimes it sucks :(
@Gaphias13 I'm not trained for guitar either. Most professional guitar-players I know aren't trained. They just played for fun until they got good. There is actually an easier way to play Bm (xx44321) if that helps you at all. Most bar chords are just hard for me; I have short fat fingers and not a lot of strength in my hands in the first place.
And the secret to learning any technique (for me) is to learn a song I love with it in it, and then play the crap out of it.
@doubleDdog09 Its not!! just keep trying and you'll get it!!! I used to think the same, but after lots and lots of trying I can finally play it!!!
tip- try putting a capo on the 7th fret and play the chord, I found it easier to learn it where the frets are smaller first, then transffering to the larger frets. Gook luck :)
I found it I bit condescending when you said "hi there kids....." since im 20... but thanks for the tip and to the people having trouble with there barre chords just keep at it and in a week or so you'll be stunned as to why you thought it was so hard...
just keep practicing it, it's helpful to find a song that has this chord and similar chords in it so you can work on getting to that chord...the one i'm learning right now is The Way You Are by Bruno Mars D, Bm, G, and D again
only three chords so it's nothing crazy...just keep working on it and it will become easier
@Joesus1991 I wanted to play that song 2 =O so I searched in internet for Bm and found only crap then I searched it as video and I found the perfect help ^^ so thx GT4KTube =D
aahh, thank you for this upload, i should already know this chord, but i had a brain fart, also i needed this chord to play psycho killer, so i just decided to look it up, anways thanks for uploading!
First finger on the thinest string (string E I think) 2 fret, second finger on the next string up (string B) third fret, and middle finger on next string up (string G) 4th fret...
Okay, I can do it, which is not easy, but it doesn't sound good at all. It's not my fingers that are touching the strings; the note just doesn't sound good.
@screaminchik same problem here! I think is because i have just started playin the guitar and i have 16...some of my same-age friends who have been playing the guitar for several years now have big hands or at least big enought to put their hands in a confortable possition around the guitar's neck
Yea it does. Bm is a very hard chord that takes time learn. I'm still trying to get the hang of it, my mom can do it without even trying, just practice and it'll be a piece of cake(:
What the heck.. for kids? US KIDS have small fingers. You do the math.
