Instructions
Step 1
Before you start learning to play the guitar, watch video tutorials on the Internet or ask fellow guitarists to show you how to take a bar. Please note that this technique must be mastered, since it is the basis for the structure of many chords, and it is simply necessary to use it in some musical compositions. With a fluent bar, you don't need to move your hand far up the fretboard, you just need to simultaneously hold all or several strings on the same fret.
Step 2
Remember, there are 2 types of bar - large and small. In the first case, five or all of the strings are clamped at a fret, and in the second, less than five strings. Don't be upset if you didn't succeed right away. Exercise daily. Start with the least difficult (small bar) and then gradually work your way up to the more complex (large bar). Keep in mind that it can take months for you to master the bar, so please be patient and take your time to work out.
Step 3
Sit comfortably, relax your back and pick up your guitar. With your index finger, simultaneously clamp several or all of the strings on the same fret, and lift the rest of your fingers above the neck. While doing this, keep your index finger straight and parallel to the metal fret nut. And to ensure his straightening, bend your arm in the wrists.
Step 4
Be careful not to protrude your finger over the top string. With the rest of your fingers, play the chord. At first it will seem difficult to you, but after a while the hands will get used to it, and you will succeed!
Step 5
To play some bar chords, bend your finger slightly and place it at a slight angle in relation to the fret. But before that, make sure your finger is straight. If you're tired, take a break and start exercising again.
Step 6
Remember, having learned to play the guitar, you can easily grab the bar, clamp the strings, and at the same time move freely with the rest of your fingers.
