Visitor, are you struggling with bar chords?
Hi Visitor,
Do you have a tough time playing bar chords?
Do they make your hand sore?
Do you find it impossible to make all of the notes ring clearly?
Does your inability to play them make you feel weak, pathetic, or even undeserving of love?Whoah, easy there!
No need to stake your self-esteem on bar chords. We all had problems with them!
You know what, I have a proposal that will instantaneously eliminate all of your struggles with bar chords, without any effort whatsoever.
I know that sounds hard to believe. But it’s totally true. And it will work so instantaneously that it will give you whiplash by how fast it and how completely it solves the problem.
And there it is:
Just don’t!
Don’t play them. Not one band, song, or recording needs a guitar strumming chords that take up two full octaves of space.
If you want to come up with interesting, memorable guitar parts that can actually be heard in the mix... bar chords are not and won't ever be the answer.
No producer has ever said “Oh good! A guitar part that takes up almost the entire frequency spectrum! This will be so easy to mix and EQ, and this whole song will benefit from having one instrument doing a job that could be done by three. I love my job!”
So, if you want to make guitar parts that are actually interesting, sit better in a mix, and don’t make producers regret not going to college, watch the video linked below and I’ll show you some much better ways to play chords around the fretboard!
