how to change barre chords from barre chords and how to hold them

[StroudWorshipTeam]

@plasticio

Try to put a little cornstarch on the fretboard. I do that and have little to no noise and if you put some one the back of the guitars neck as well your hand can slide easier

[samsammy151]

This helped me soo much thank u now I can play songs with that chord

[joshua8354]

don't even have to think about it JUST AUTOMATIC lol

[plasticio]

Hi David,

First of all: You rule, man!

I have a question. My fingers make way too much noise when they slide across the fretboard. I know they are supposed to, since that´s the idea of the acoustic guitar, but when I play for other people they always remark the tense noise I make when I change chords and it is getting on my nerves. Please help!

[popstardj2]

helped a lot ..tnx :)

[zheren91]

just automatic!

[AJBluesman]

[WindWalker940]

i did this by reflex on VERY easy chords, from D to Em to Dm back to D, took alots of practice but not as much as it should.. that was very easy...

and thx for the hand help, i never knew how to actually hold the left hand while playing.. damn pinky is allover the place

[maggotXfest129]

i want to see him with out a hat

[swiv2d]

I'm just learning barre chords froma book right now can anyone recommend this site for a begginer and don't mean just a begginer I mena a total noob cause I'd like to learn and this site is really inviting.

[pwrlifter69]

yah i agree its not about strenth on electric guitar but acoustic you have to use strenth for bar chords

[4a6ka]

Its not about strenght ? Its not about strenght On electric guitar.

[karma123456]

i love this guy so much. he's excellent.

[paulcooke100]

excellent lesson... the "hitching a ride" tip for the pinky has opened it all up to me... this is the killer tip that all the other books don't give you...

[Sideler74]

What's Up Good People!

That's the 1st thing I said to Dave when I met him this past Labor Day weekend @ a bar called "The Ketch" in Beach Haven, NJ. We spoke for a few minutes about his YouTube page I told him how I'ver been watching his lessons for a few years now & he was very appreciative. He's one of the coolest guy ever. Rock On Good People, Rock On!

[laserGain]

fantastic information thanks.

[BelongsToEmily]

swiv2d because it's an f sharp?

[calbeesnapcult]

Thanks man.

[swiv2d]

how come his f chord is different waht about the 6 and 5th string on 1st fret

[maniaticoaleman]

Great tips! :D

[eroticblack]

yeah its not about strength. i used to think that too in the beginening. but now i realise its not about strength after playing a couple of years!

[jonahguitarguy]

I like to use the same 3 fingers, pinky, ring and middle to play the open E. Same with the Am. No worries just slide right up to any barr chord.

[magma9999]

god they have long titles

[naaf89]

Hahaha I think it's hilarious how long (unnecessarily, might I add) their titles are.

[DandilionRBF]

Great Lesson.

[DunDamage]

thanks dave your cool bro !=) rock on!!

[boojwahz]

thanks man. ive been playing guitar for about 15 years now and im still uncomfortable/crappy at switching between standard chords and barre chords. i have favorited this video and will be using it to practice.

[gooney0]

These are great lessons.  Even if you're a more advanced player its is very helpful to go back and improve your basic techniques.

[jmjunkie]

Hey Dave this is the first time I've ever seen one of your lessons. You are a great teacher, and I'm thinking that you'll take me to the next level. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

[Starbuckfsd]

Are you a dick Earlof Dublin or were you born that way? Don't be a hater. Maybe it's their GOAL is to teach this way? Don't be such a prick.

[starcraft90]

David is fucking awesome. I learnt how to play pinch harmonics by watching his video.

[Runescape5ucks]

Hey dude don't bash them, they're just trying to help. They cover a wide variety of material in different styles, with many different instructors, and a lot of their lessons are great...remember also that this is free. Personally they've had an impact on my playing.

[tmobil8]

Thanks Dave for the lessons, they are very helpful to those who are slow at learning, people in general are not that considerate of others and thats a shame, this proves you are considerate my friend. God_bless you. - Best regards- Thomas

[dayone54]

[bloodypeasant13]

wow, as a relative beginner, this may be the best video lesson on youtube I have seen. All kinds of cylinders just clicked in my head and I'm going to try them out tonight! Yesterday was my birthday and I think I just figured out what I'm going to treat myself to :D

[nidumite]

This is so good, basic play explained in a non-patronising way.Wish my teacher told me things like this.Cheers Mate.

[crowpruitt]

[javier7high]

i cant beleave this is for free.

[NapoLoso]

hahaha im the man with the flying pinky!!

[danukenator123]

screw cords, ill be the 40 year old guitar bum that knows only arpeggios and sits in that back of a guitar shop play a dean

[mikeyFear0n]

\chords are so important when playing any instrument, learn them or get nowhere

[skint0n0minted]

if you know areggios you the notes that are in the chords!

[danukenator123]

clearly people are retarded and didn't get i was sarcastic, i am learning lots of cords, cords also make up the notes to an arpeggio, i know my theory

[dopemcee]

i can do bar chords for electric pretty much easy but goddamn is it hard for acoustic

particularly that G string...its always muted..ive tried every which way and it seems like that part of my finger just has too much fat/skin to it that my finger bone doesnt really touch the fret..

i've tried so hard though

[b44styreraug]

I have this prob too! Maybe what you can try is to bring it to a guitar tech to tighten the truss rod to reduce the action of the guitar. And maybe you can change the strings to a lower gauge. Like say... 0.10 gauge strings.

[pinoyhellahoy]

what about in chords like C9, or in barchords like CM7 and Dm7 and stuf like that?

[pinoyhellahoy]

man has got a good point

[dkdamoa]

I HAVE A GREAT CHORD SEQUENCE FOR THIS TYPE OF PRACTICE!! -

Am, F, C, G, Am, F, C, E, - Repeat

3 strums each (can you guess the song =))

[mickstakes]

Iggy Pop and The Passenger .. Oh yeah

[mjd9208]

[Lukasas]
