- DESCRIPTION
We laid a solid foundation for barre chords in Chapter 1.In Chapter 2 we’re going to dive even deeper into barre chords and understand where they come from. This is more important than you might think. Along with this we’ll learn some songs and useful exercises.
Once your guitar is tuned up, let’s dive in!

Great intro , and thanks for the kudos ( whatever that means? haha, but i will take it coming from my teacher thumbs up… thanks Tomas
Great first chapter so far.
Onto the next one!
Go Chaz!
Thanks Tomas, Great advice, smaller chunks of practice with stretching in between . And,, I’ll stop trying to strangle the neck of the guitar!
Hooray, I made it to Chapter 2. The power chords where fun, but 30 minutes of practice results in an hour of ice on my left thumb that has tendinitis. I have to constantly remind myself not to try and “Muscle thru it”.
After several tries of testing just how little force is needed to make the strings play clearly, I think there is hope for me and Barre Chords. I just need to relax and work on Technic rather than strength.
Thanks Tomas.
I think you’re doing great Tim. This is just the kind of feedback that indicates real progress. It also seems you have a good and realistic understanding of the process.
I’m working on a technique myself that is a bit strenuous. I’ve found that it’s best if I work at it for 5 to 10 minutes at a time max. I stretch before and after for 60 seconds (really helps) and do this several times in a day mixed in with other things I’m practicing. It’s been a couple of weeks now and I can see progress.
I tell you this because I want you to know that small session do work for us grownups if you’re persistent. I think I should stretch more than I do… have to respect the body 🙂
