Guitar: Barre chord woes

rutabowa said:
i sometimes play Fs by wrapping my thumb around the top of the neck to play the 1st fret of the fat E string, then only barring the top 2 strings with the index finger. it looks cool too. you would get thrown out of music lessons though.

I always thought that looked cool but I find it much easier the normal way.

After a while it just becomes easy. The bar E is the best sounding one then A. All the others are pussies and should not be used.
 
Jebus bless Bob Dylan.

:cool:


Having trawled the net for tunes that a complete guitar n00b-spazz can play and sound half decent whilst singing and playing, Bob is yer man.

Cheers for being technically useless, yet tunefully brilliant Bob

:D

bar chords hurt....and make a sound that goes:

"flubber-dub-flubber-dub"

Just now - about 5 minute ago, I totally pulled off an F that sounded only half turd.

I am getting better.

:cool:

it does take alot of practice and PAIN and having your finger look like you were attempting to slice it into 5 sections!

It will all be worth it.

I am totally learning something!

On my own!

For the first time in about 20 years....

I am feeling smug.

Also releived that I have finally, finally got a constructive hobby again.
