I already know I want to buy this course
If you have ever thought:
- I can`t play barre chords!
- Barre chords hurt my wrist/finger/arm, etc!
- My barre chords sound buzzy and weak!
- I can`t change between barre chords!
- I don`t know which barre chords to use!
- I don`t understand why I need them!
- Barre chords are just too darn tough!
Then, you have come to the right place.
This course is the solution…
Barre chords are extremely tough when learned in the typical way
Most guitarists try barre chords at some point in their playing and find them very difficult. This often leads to a guitarist giving up on barre chords. They throw their arms up in the air in dismay and say…
“Barre chords are simply not for me, they are too hard“
This point hits many guitarists, and it did for me a long time ago.
It’s a real shame, as barre chords are essential to your playing.
Without them, you can be a good guitarist but you will never fulfil your potential.
Many songs you will want to play will be out of your reach and even the ones you can play often won’t quite sound right without the correct barre chord being used.
A lot of classic songs from the 60`s and 70`s use barre chords. More so than modern songs. (New music tends to be simpler and far less interesting.)
Without barre chords, you simply can NOT play these classic songs (and many more):
- David Bowie – Space Oddity
- Eric Clapton/Derek and The Dominoes – Layla
- Eagles – Hotel California
- Sinead O` Connor/Prince – Nothing Compares 2 U
- The Who – Pinball Wizard
- Led Zeppelin – Stairway To Heaven
- Echo and the Bunnymen – The Killing Moon
- Classics IV/Dusty Springfield – Spooky
- The Beatles – Something, Daytripper, Twist and Shout (the cool version with the bass riff)
- Milos – Spanish Romance
- Amy Winehouse – Love Is A Losing Game
- And 1000`s more…
Don’t blame yourself if you have failed before. It’s not your fault but it’s the method of instruction that is broken
Most guitar teachers in the real world and on the internet have no idea how to teach barre chords even though they can often play them reasonably well.
Often these teachers and players look and sound like they are playing them well but in many cases, they are not.
They are often doing enough to “get by” and long-term arthritis or an injury is often just one bad barre chord away.
“The truth is barre chords only require a little strength, they are mostly technique and in this course, you will learn this exact technique”
The problem with barre chords is that they are often taught and learned in a poor way.
If their barre chords sound buzzy, messy or weak, guitarists are usually told, “push harder, it will come” OR “keep on going, you’ll get there” but this advice is poor.
This all implies that you should be using power and strength to play barre chords but that is not the case!
Don’t play them like this `teacher`
Look at the picture of this guy below attempting to teach barre chords.
On the surface, it looks good but it is NOT!
It is not the worst I have seen but it is pretty bad.
This guy may well have had tuition but unfortunately, he is either ignoring the advice (if good advice)…
…Or…
…was given really bad advice on how to play barre chords – now he is attempting to teach them to others when he is not qualified to do so.
- Can you see the bend in his wrist? (You can just about see this in the picture due to the angle of his forearm). This puts massive pressure on the wrist and can cause long-term damage to the joints.
- Can you see how far from the frets his middle finger is? (Non-playing fingers should always be close to the frets).
- Can you see how his middle finger is pushing down to add power to the barre?
- Can you see how he is teaching them on fret 1? You should always practice them higher up the fretboard (e.g. fret 7) where the frets are closer – this promotes good technique and good habits.
Playing them like this can cause so many issues!
To be honest, if I was to see a video of this guy playing them (and most other teachers around the world) I would spot plenty more errors. The above are just a few obvious errors (to me) in a snapshot.
These errors are NOT obvious to other teachers, so how can students be expected to know them and correct them?
They can`t.
That`s why this course is so important.
Be free from the limitations of the capo once and for all
Yes, it’s true, capos are wonderful and a great tool for the modern guitarist, but, a capo won’t work for many songs due to the following reasons…
- Some songs will sound too thin or weak when using a capo. (the further up the neck the thinner the guitar sounds, and sometimes you will need the capo on fret 8 or higher!)
- Some songs will sound unrecognisable unless the all-important bass notes are played – a capo may stop this from happening as the lower notes can’t be accessed.
- Some songs you will want to learn can`t be played with a capo no matter what you do unless you can play a barre chord or two.
5 important reasons why you should learn barre chords…
- Each barre chord you learn will allow you to play 12 new chords for every shape you know
- Learning barre chords properly will mean that you will have to have great technique which transfers to all of your guitar playing.
- Pop, fingerstyle, folk, rock, classical, jazz, soul, country and blues will all require you to be able to play barre chords at some point
- Once learned, barre chords will give you so much more confidence with your playing allowing you to have no limitations!
- Barre chords give beginners a relatively easy way to understand chord progressions and theory better.
Many guitarists learning later on in life lack the confidence to really learn barre chords
I teach and specialise in teaching the over 40`s how to play the guitar in the most enjoyable way possible. The truth is, older guitarists tend to learn a bit differently to younger students. They don`t necessarily learn slower, but they often lack a little more confidence.
Therefore, I make sure my methods of teaching are suitable for those learning later on in life.
I explain things clearly, in a step by step method, assuming nothing.
I also make sure the examples, songs and techniques are suitable to the songs and styles these students want to learn.
You will find the materials in this course are suitable for you and what you want to learn. There`s no Justin Beiber, heavy metal or complex jazz in this course.
This course features fingerpicked and strummed audio and tab examples suitable for fingerstyle players, blues players and acoustic strummers looking to learn the classic songs from the 60`s and 70`s.
Stop trying to play them in the old school way of using brute force and power.
Instead, try this…
I have covered absolutely every detail needed for you to be able to learn barre chords the proper way.
This method is a step by step method designed to allow you to learn and master barre chords in a far shorter space of time than the conventional way of learning them.
This course holds the key.
A lot of what barre chords are about is learning how to use proper technique.
Classical guitarists often have wonderful technique, but modern pop and rock players somehow shun technique like it’s not important.
This couldn’t be further from the truth.
Good technique is 100% paramount to your barre chord success and this is what this course will give you. I guarantee it.
I have learned a lot over the years about classical technique and how to apply it to contemporary music, but without the stuffiness that comes with it.
This course takes the key classical technical ideas, combines them with a fun contemporary style, and together will be like dynamite for your barre chord playing.
Did you know you can simplify any barre chord?
In this course, I`ll show you two simple ways on how you can simplify all the shapes we will learn.
This means if you are new to playing barre chords, and find the main shapes a struggle, then you can transition to them by learning the simplified versions which is what a lot of pro`s actually do.
It`s important to learn the complete shape after but when starting out why make things tougher than need be?
Instead, I`ll show you how to play the simplified version and then transition to the complete shape.
Both are highly important.
No more wrist, finger or hand pain – ever!!!
The truth is, barre chords should:
- NOT be painful
