Hi all,
A while back I sent out a survey that asked what you wanted to learn and what your biggest problem areas were. The overwhelming two responses were bar chords and fingerstyle. With that in mind, I'm currently working on a comprehensive bar chord course called The Bar Chord Masterclass. As I write and film this course, I want to make sure that I cover everything that you want to know about bar chords or are struggling with.
This is going to be a darn comprehensive course so I suspect that many of you will only use part of it but a good number of you will use the entire thing. Let me know what you would like to see. You can also post any current questions you may have about bar chords in this thread. I'm shooting to get the first few modules out by early December.
Well my main problem seems to be just getting that darn bar to ring clearly. I seem to get the other fingers okay but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong on laying that first finger down. I haven’t watched your other videos on that as it doesn’t fit into my practice plan...yet. How’s that for self control!
@Tammy Anderson Way to stick to your guns. This issue is address right off the bat in the new Bar Chord Masterclass course. The first chapter addresses playing the bar by itself first and only working on getting that down before tackling the whole shape.
Bar Chord Masterclass Course Update* - Hi all. Just wanted to let everyone know that I finished the E-book for this new course. It worked out to be about 140 pages long. Chelsea and I start filming the first modules this week and we are looking to release the first module by Nov. 18th. The remaining 11 modules will be released asap on a regular schedule as they are completed. My goal is to have the first 3 modules out by Dec. 1st and the rest by the end of the year. It's ambitious but it's going to be a great problem solver course for a lot fo people. The first module will be complimentary to everyone. So if you know someone who is struggling with bar chords, encourage them to create their account here on GuitarFam.com. More updates to follow very soon.
We are finishing the 3rd day of filming for the Bar Chord Masterclass today, and hope to be done with the first four modules. From there, I'll enter editing mode. We hope to get those first four modules to you by the end of the month.
It's certainly been a busy few days of filming!!
