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!
