TECHNIQUE CHECK...

Get your fingers in prime position to make those barres easier

-

1 JUST ABARRE

Start of by getting comfortabl­e with barring two strings with the pad of your first finger.

2 DM7 CHORD

Next, move down to the 2nd fret and add a finger to make Dm7.

It’s often more comfortabl­e if you angle your first finger slightly.

3 MOVABLE MAJOR SHAPE

Adding your third finger gives you a major chord which you can move around the fretboard – no open strings!

4 MOVABLE MINOR SHAPE

When barring three strings, make sure your knuckle isn’t directly over a string – it’s hard to apply any pressure when you bend your finger!
