Hi All,
Just joined Cordie today and spotted this chat about bar cords. I have been learnining with my tutor for around 8/9 weeks now and have started on bar cords which were a disaster from the start. He said I have to give it time to build up the strenght between my thumb and first finger and wrist too, as that kills after a while. Got to say now I can do an F 60% of the time, also a G (3rd fret) most of the time. So what I'm saying is that with daily practice I'm getting there. So to anyone out there please stick at it, I can promise you'll crack it in the end.
Oh and love this very informative site.
Steve.
