Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.24,0:00:28.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And what this lesson's going to \Nbe about is barre chords.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:28.61,0:00:31.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A lot of people, when they first\Nstart playing barre chords,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.56,0:00:35.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,say they have a bit of difficulty trying\Nto get all the notes clear and clean.\N
Dialogue: 0,0:00:35.27,0:00:38.61,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'm going to try to explain to you\Nwhere the barre chords come from.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:38.61,0:00:41.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The basic kind of shapes like you might\Nhave learned an F chord,

Dialogue: 0,0:00:43.33,0:00:45.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But I'll give you a few tips on\Nmaking sure that you get
Dialogue: 0,0:00:45.97,0:00:47.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the fingering kind of good for that.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.86,0:00:51.98,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The first thing is, I've already mentioned\Nit before, it's an E shape.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:52.02,0:00:56.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So the very first barre chord shape\Nthat most people learn
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.31,0:01:00.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is based really by playing a\Nregular E chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:00.25,0:01:03.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,which I'm hoping you know, \Nyou should know your E chord good
Dialogue: 0,0:01:03.47,0:01:07.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,before you try a barre chord\Nwith an E shape.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:07.08,0:01:11.54,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,If you refinger that chord, \Ni.e. change the fingers that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:11.54,0:01:13.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,you use, but keep the dots the same.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:13.70,0:01:18.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you end up using your second,\Nthird and fourth fingers
Dialogue: 0,0:01:18.16,0:01:20.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and your first finger is free.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:20.50,0:01:23.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I'm going to go for a closeup\Nin a sec, I just have to figure
Dialogue: 0,0:01:23.37,0:01:24.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,out how to do that in a sec.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.96,0:01:29.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Once that chord shape is down\Nif you move that shape up
Dialogue: 0,0:01:29.31,0:01:35.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and put your first finger down,\Nyour first finger is replacing the nut.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.00,0:01:38.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The nut is the little plastic or bone\Nusually white thing down at

Dialogue: 0,0:01:40.38,0:01:43.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you can see very clearly that\Nwe've got and E chord,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:43.37,0:01:46.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,if we move up everything up one fret\Nand then put your first finger
Dialogue: 0,0:01:46.89,0:01:49.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the first fret, your first\Nfinger has replaced the nut.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:49.96,0:01:53.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the reason it's an F chord\Nis because it's all the same notes
Dialogue: 0,0:01:53.70,0:01:56.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,just everything has been moved higher\Nby one semi-tone.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:56.74,0:01:59.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, now I'm just going to give \Nyou a closeup of that,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:59.34,0:02:03.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,exactly this E to F movement.\NAnd then we'll move it up to an
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.25,0:02:05.67,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,A or something and \NI'll give you some stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:05.67,0:02:09.17,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'll get my fancy remote control\Nthing here, and see if I can
Dialogue: 0,0:02:09.17,0:02:12.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,figure out how to get the camera\Nto do a closeup on my hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:12.94,0:02:15.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So I'll see you guys in a sec.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.22,0:02:18.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, that didn't seem too bad,\Nso here we are in a closeup.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:18.88,0:02:23.05,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if we start here with our regular \Nold faithful E chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:23.07,0:02:26.26,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we've got first finger, \Nfirst fret, third string.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:30.54,0:02:33.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Remember of course you are trying\Nto get this finger up as close
Dialogue: 0,0:02:33.55,0:02:35.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the fret as you can,\Nbut you can't get it right
Dialogue: 0,0:02:35.89,0:02:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,next door because the third finger\Nis kind of blocking the way a bit.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.64,0:02:41.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's your basic E chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.19,0:02:44.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your first attempt at playing\Na barre chord, you should try
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.58,0:02:47.34,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,move your second finger to where\Nyour first finger was.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.34,0:02:50.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your third finger moves to where\Nyour second finger was.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:50.02,0:02:52.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Your little finger sneaks up there \Nunderneath.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.22,0:02:55.75,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So you've now got,\Nsecond finger, first fret, third string.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:55.75,0:03:01.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Third finger, on the fifth string second\Nfret. And little finger underneath on the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.36,0:03:04.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,fourth string. So you can see\Nnow that your first finger
Dialogue: 0,0:03:04.37,0:03:07.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is free to wave and do little\Nstupid dances and stuff. OK.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:07.43,0:03:11.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that's your E chord.\NTo get to F you move all of those
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.44,0:03:16.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,notes up one fret, and the first finger\Nnow goes down and covers
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.91,0:03:20.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,all of the strings. Now even that's\Ncovering all of the strings because
Dialogue: 0,0:03:20.79,0:03:26.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,your second, third, and fourth finger\Ncovering strings three, four, and five.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:26.95,0:03:29.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You only really needed to cover\Nthe thickest string and the
Dialogue: 0,0:03:29.73,0:03:31.82,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,thinnest two strings.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.82,0:03:34.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But in order to do that you kind\Nof want to put your pressure
Dialogue: 0,0:03:34.89,0:03:39.14,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,focus your pressure like it's here\Nin the middle of the barre.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.14,0:03:43.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's the place that you kind\Nof focus your energy.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:43.41,0:03:45.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I know that sounds a bit funny,\Nhippy stuff.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:45.46,0:03:48.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But if you think about pressing down\Nin the middle of the finger,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.85,0:03:53.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it will make the two ends help press\Ndown, kind of consistently.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:53.25,0:03:56.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now the other thing with barre chords\Nthat's really important:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:56.20,0:03:58.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the second, third and fourth fingers\Nare kind of standard.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:58.93,0:04:02.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Make sure that they are pressing down\Nand not trying to lay over like that.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:02.46,0:04:04.59,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Regular E, moving up to F.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:04.59,0:04:09.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now when you put the barre down don't\Ntry and press down flat down that way
Dialogue: 0,0:04:09.22,0:04:11.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,with the first finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.43,0:04:15.36,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Actually what you're trying to do here\Nis you're trying to roll over
Dialogue: 0,0:04:15.36,0:04:18.35,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,the part of your finger,\Nthere's my hand.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.36,0:04:21.81,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The part of the finger that presses\Ndown for the barre is here,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:21.81,0:04:25.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's not the flat like this.\NIt's not that part there that presses
Dialogue: 0,0:04:25.64,0:04:30.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's this kind of on the diagonal of\Nyour finger, the edge.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:30.08,0:04:33.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So what you do is you put your\Nfirst finger down flat kind of
Dialogue: 0,0:04:33.25,0:04:35.78,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,right on the barre itself.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:35.78,0:04:38.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So that would be behind the barre,\Nyou can see the barre there now.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:38.93,0:04:40.76,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So this is like right on the barre.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.76,0:04:46.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then you roll it slightly onto the\Nside, and then your fingers go down.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:46.18,0:04:52.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Now by doing that, as you probably know,\Nyour first finger doesn't really
Dialogue: 0,0:04:52.10,0:04:55.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,want to move a lot either way sideways.\NI know you can move it a little bit,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:55.88,0:04:57.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but It doesn't tend to want to.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:57.39,0:05:01.86,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So if you're trying to think of \Nyour barre chord grip like this,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:01.86,0:05:06.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,then when you're trying to, if you're\Ntrying to turn your hand that way
Dialogue: 0,0:05:06.70,0:05:09.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,on the guitar neck here, so this way.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:09.97,0:05:14.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,You're putting the pressure sideways\Nwith the first finger.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.12,0:05:17.91,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Think of the pressure as going sideways.\NNot going straight down.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:17.91,0:05:21.49,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It will make it an awful lot easier to \Nget your barre chord really solid.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:21.49,0:05:26.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So put it down on the fret\Nroll it over onto the side,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:26.65,0:05:29.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so to kind of like 45 degrees,\Nit's not the side side.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:29.87,0:05:31.93,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And then put your other fingers down.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:31.93,0:05:38.06,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Make sure of course you practice doing\Npicking your notes one at a time.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:38.06,0:05:40.16,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Making sure you get a nice clear chord.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:40.16,0:05:43.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Also make sure that your first finger\Nisn't hanging over the end too much.

Dialogue: 0,0:05:48.70,0:05:52.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, keep it down so that basically the\Nidea would be if you moved it down
Dialogue: 0,0:05:52.12,0:05:55.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to the fifth string root barre chord,\Nwhich we're not going to talk about yet,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:55.79,0:05:59.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but if you did, the first finger, the tip\Nof it would be muting the sixth string.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:59.60,0:06:02.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we want it, you know,\Nhalf a centimeter over the end,

Dialogue: 0,0:06:08.77,0:06:13.80,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,OK, so, the main thing with the barre\Nchord is making sure you put it flat,
Dialogue: 0,0:06:13.80,0:06:17.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,roll it over onto the side, \Nkeep the pressure focused in
