![]() ![]() I also have to adjust my index finger slightly so this doesn’t happen. I find that the dip of my index finger knuckle just so happens to perfectly lay over the G string on barre chords: Which means because of my finger length, there’s no fatty flesh that I can just easily push on to the string with but rather a “gap” effect which makes me have to press down harder or my G string doesn’t ring out well. The F barre chord on the first fret is a pain in the ass to play for any beginner or anyone with small fingers. Does your wrist start to hurt? Do you not know how to play it properly? Is it hard to hold the chord and get a sound to ring out? I’m not sure what part you’re having trouble with. Are you practicing along with a song or just practicing alone? You know, I embarrassed myself at my first gig doing punk rock stuff because my fingers wouldn’t slide right and my barres suuuuuuucked. And my fingers feel like they’re dying.” Sliding with barre chords is very difficult as a beginner. When I first learned barre chords I told myself “I’d rather suck and never progress than learn this. I would love to see you upload a video of you doing this, my dear girl. This reply was modified 4 months ago by Syn Gates. Nothing awesome is easy and Open Chords are fucking AWESOME! This is a pain because you have to refinger the chord usually and this will take a lot of time and practice. Open chords take a lot of experimenting by taking something like a Barre Chord and “opening” some of the strings. HOWEVER, I personally have never used an F barre chord for anything and if you need basic major and minor chords that utilize every string, I personally opt for open chord voicings which means that at least one string in the chord is “open” or not fretted. It’s always good to be able to play an F barre chord especially if there’s a song you’re learning that calls for it or if you’re writing something that your ear tells you specifically needs that voicing. Very cool for any Lydian application but sounds particularly Spanish imho. ![]() Option 2(Spanish sounding especially following an E major chord, less universally used, more specific application). The above is an F sus2 chord that sounds super lush and open. (1)- thumb is optional if you want or must play the root Option 1(my go to for 99.9999% of everything). I usually use an open voicing for any song needing an F major. ![]()
