Transcript

0:00 Speaker A: Today we're going to talk about bar chords again. Speaker A: So a bar is when you place your finger across multiple strings on the same fret, like so. Speaker A: Could be 6 strings, 5 strings, 4 strings, etc. Speaker A: Could be any finger. Speaker A: Most of the time it's your first finger. Speaker A: It could also be your third finger. Speaker A: Alright? Speaker A: Covering a couple strings here. Speaker A: So today I'm going to show you B minor, alright?

0:27 Speaker A: B minor is played like this, alright? Speaker A: It's your first finger covering five strings, not six strings, five strings, alright? Speaker A: With the tip of your first finger, muting the low E string like so, okay? Speaker A: Right underneath it with your fingertip, alright? Speaker A: So keep that finger straight.

0:52 Speaker A: Keep your thumb behind your first finger, right here, alright? Speaker A: Second fret, then add your middle finger to the third fret of the second string. Speaker A: Add your third finger to the fourth fret of the fourth string and your fourth finger to the fourth fret of the third string and you get B minor, alright?

1:18 Speaker A: Keep these two fingers together. Speaker A: Bring it in for a closer look here, alright? Speaker A: Muting the low string with the tip of your finger. Speaker A: Third fret, second string, these two together, alright? Speaker A: From this angle. Speaker A: From this angle, all right? Speaker A: So you should have a muted string, then this.
