I created an …
I created an account just so I could comment to say thank you so much! Your video had exactly what I was looking for. This particular barre chord had been very difficult for me, so I had been ignoring it until now. Thanks again and I’ll be practicing.
Take into …
Take into consideration the chord. It’s a Bb chord built with the notes Bb, D & F(literally on guitar as: Bb, F, Bb & D). There is no E in Bb, nor is there even a Natural E in the key of Bb itself. It would simply be wrong. Therefore No E (low or high) strings should sound. Hope this helps.
why do i have to …
why do i have to mute the low E-string and the high too? Isn’t it the same like the type with all fingers if i play he 6th string too (type with the 3rd finger)?

Man seriously, …
Man seriously, thank you SO much. I’ve been looking for like, a week for a video like this. Not only do you teach how to play the chord, you give some tips and tricks to make it sound better… but you obviously already know that. Anyway, yeah. Thank you so much.
Justin or any one.. …
Justin or any one….Im finding this barre using my right hand third finger tough but Ill practice…however it sounds kind of dull anyway even when I get it right with all four strings ringing properly…..should I practice strumming only the four strings? This is as hard as fingering the barre…help
I had a look on …
I had a look on some images of the shape on google and saw the same think you mentioned with the 5th, thanks for confirming it.
I meant you have E …
I meant you have E on D string 2nd fret. Sorry for mistake.
The A major chord …
The A major chord consists of A (which is the root) C# (which is the third) and E (which is the fifth). You have to play all this three pitches to have A major chord.
You have E on G string 2nd fret, so is up to you if you mute high e string or not. The other way you can play this is to mute G string and not to mute e string. These are just different voicings of this chord.
But the important thing is to mute low E string unless you get inversion.
wondering if anyone …
wondering if anyone can answer this question, but i have a book that has the A shape withe the 6th low E string muted, and the high e string fretted by your first (index) barre. On this lesson he mutes the high e. Also google A-shapes and you’ll get the same thing described in the book. Does anyone have an answer?
Does he have any …
Does he have any videos on thumb placement???
He didn’t even talk about it in the other 2 vids on this topic!
Practice should …
Practice should resolve all issues. Check out the guys website. He has videos of things you can do to help finger strength.
I am not able to …
I am not able to get this A shape bar chord. My ring finger just won’t bend and thus I mute the lower two strings together. I am just not able to mute the high e alone. Is there a way I can make that finger more flexible? Will this come with practice or is there something with my finger structure that will prevent me from getting it right?
