Intro to the Barre
Tutorial: Part 6
Some of you may find that doing that three string bars is very comfortable and it kind of fits your finger the right way, feel free to do that as well. You don't necessarily have to barre to just two strings, you can barre the first, the second, and the third if that feels more natural to you, and in fact, that makes switching between majors and minors easier. I will demonstrate.
You can do that plain F shape, and then if you are barring the first three strings, you can just lift up your second finger and you have an instant minor chord. But for right now, we are just going to focus on doing that major, that F shape. Remember, I am doing it here at the fifth fret; you can do it at the third fret, the seventh fret, or the twelfth fret, any fret that feels comfortable to you.
Like I said at the beginning, you are definitely going to want to have your guitar setup really, really, really well. These kind of techniques are hard enough to do without the instrument fighting you.
So hopefully you have wrapped up your difficulty. You have tried a two string barre and then a three string barre, and then you have attempted your F shape, and hopefully, given enough practice and enough time, you will conquer those demon barre chords.
So with the third finger here on the fifth fret of the fourth string, pick that and slide up to the seventh fret. Then with your first finger you are going to barre the fifth fret on the third string.
Place your third finger on the seventh fret here on the third and the second string, and you are going to bend both of those notes.
