no its normal for beginners. just keep jammin man and your fingers will get stronger. also, if you have one of those squishy stress balls just practice squeezing it like you would the neck of your guitar and youll get em stronger =)
i think i need to inject steroids in my fingers to play bars theyre killing me man !!
bignirmal, don’t give upon those pesky bar chords, one day they will come if you practise, I promise. Try playing them on the 5th string when your hand and forearm are in a straight line. And you do not need half the pressure you may think, its a technique that you will work out. If a great ammount of pressure was needed you would not be able to play for long periods at a time, which is not true.
thanks for the advice and inspiration bricoak
i shall continue learning and practicing. i was having problems because of my index finger is a little out of shape due to s sport accident lol but thanks again buddy
cheers
Sorry I meant the 5th fret. Your hand and arm are twisted when playing on the 1st fret. I remember the first time I played the ‘F’ chord properly, I had to have my fingers surgically removed from the fretboard I was so pleased with my little self I wouldn’t let go.
my thumbs hurts
whats the name of the song you play the Dm with? I want to look up the tab.
its official ur a legend
thanks a lot dude u helped me out
ouch. my index fingure is cut into 6 parts.
but you know what they say, no pain, no gain. I will get this!

Thanks fore your good work dude!
D: do we have to bar them?
ahh i cant reach lol

yo buddy please please PLEASE put up a tuning tune for C# F# B E G# C# please its really by ear
great video, it helped me so much, but i dont get how to play the whole song in 4:30 … could someone help me please?
thanks dude!!! Bar chords are pretty tough for beginners!!
Could an index finger injury from years ago be the reason I can’t play bar chords well? Because when I play a minor chord like 5-7-7-*5*-5-5, the starred 5 is very difficult to make a sound from.
i cant remember the name of that song at 4:35… what is it?
could you please make a video of how to tune a guitar manualy please?
ok should it sound different if you’re using an electric guitar? I’m using my dads-without the amp- until I can get an acoustic…so everything sounds weird, am I doing it wrong?
why is there a different G major chord on this video than there was on the first one?
my fingers just won’t do it ive been practicing for ages my index finger just aint stronger enough at all
ic ant get that 4:30 song thing probably cuz im using an electric guitar
how do you play wild thing?
i know you said GCD bar chords but is it GCD major bar chords or GCD minor bar chords. and you didnt teach us how to play both D bar chords.
thats all i dont get. for all the other chords, your a really good teacher. this is the best video about chords i have seen on youtube. & its so easy to get. but i cant do it yet.:]
thank you so much!(:
