You don’t want to overexert yourself by putting too much pressure on, plus that can make the strings sound sharp. You’re also going to want to experiment with how much pressure you need to make your bar sound clean. If it doesn’t sound clean yet, readjust it and go through all the tips I’ve given you. Strum your bar chord and see if it sounds clean. Remember all these tips as you put your bar on. If you pull your elbow into your body, it’s automatically going to line your finger up with the fret and put you in a better position to make your bar. If your elbow is up in the air far away from your body, it will be hard to get a good bar because you’re not getting a very good angle on the strings. This next tip will help you keep your wrist in a good position. What you want to do is start off with a neutral position, and my wrist naturally ends up being curved forwards a bit, but not too far. If your wrist is kinked too far in front of the guitar neck, your wrist will get really sore and start to hurt after a while. If your wrist is kinked upwards behind the guitar neck, it will be too difficult for you to get a clean sounding bar. The next thing to be aware of with bar technique is if your wrist is kinked too far in either direction. Basically, you want to clamp the neck of the guitar between your index and thumb. If your thumb is in front of or behind your finger, it’s going to be hard to get the strength you need for a good sounding bar. What you want to do first is form a clamp with your index finger and your thumb. Now that we’ve taken a look at those bar placement tips, we’re going to talk about bar technique. If the creases of your finger fall on a string, it will be hard to get that string to sound clean. Everyone has creases in their fingers in different spots, so you’ll need to play around with your bar and move it vertically across the strings to find the best place to put your finger. The third tip for bar placement is very specific to each guitar player. The closer you are to the fret, the easier it will be to get a good sounding bar. If you place your finger towards the middle or back of the fret, the bar chord will end up sounding very buzzy. The second tip for bar placement is how close your finger is to the fret. This will make it a bit easier to get a good sounding bar. Instead, tilt your finger back just a little bit so that you’re using more of the bony edge of your finger. First, when you make a bar, you don’t want to come down on directly with the fleshy part of your finger. We’re going to go over three things about bar placement to help make your bar chords sound clean.
