Lesson

Finding a great practice routine is always a challenge. That’s why when it comes to barre chords, keeping it simple is the best technique.

A simple but effective practice routine:

1. Play E-Type barre chords moving from fret 1 to fret 8 and come back down the neck.
2. Play A-Type barre chords moving from fret 1 to fret 8 and come back down the neck.
3. Repeat with each variation of the barre chord shape. (minor, minor 7th and 7th forms)
4. Practice slowly and makes sure all notes ring clearly.
5. Mix and match different variations allowing your fingers to develop dexterity and speed when switching chords.
