Barre Instruction?

Hey Crunchy!

That is a "Wedgie". It fits between the strings and holds a pick on either side.



I have one for each of my guitars. I know they have them for the bass too but I haven't found one yet at the stores.

Hello Blue,

Best thing I ever did for learning how to barre was to have my guitar set up professionally for fingetstyle - that is, low action. All of a sudden I could barre chords!

If your action is a bit high try tuning all six strings down half a tone then placing a capo on the first fret. Instant low action and easy barring in standard tuning!

Cheers,
Bill

Wow! technology at its best ..and simplest.  Now if I can find all my lost pics that are hanging out somewhere with those lost socks.

start by geting youre index finger and up and down fretboard covering all the strings.
as this will srengthen it and wont hurt as much.

Once I learned the barre cords I started using the F barre cord as my regular F cord. And now I find it easy'er to play than the normal F cord. And i'm sure that heavy use of the F barre has made the rest of them just that much easy'er to play.

Very eloquent! Unusual for a Fender guy.    :WNK>
