Right on man, I'm glad it helped! There's a bunch more free technique articles/lessons I've done. If you're interested check them out, I'm sure you'll find some stuff that you can use: maxrichmusic.com/newsletter
oh man, I just found your videos on youtube, amazing! started with the finger exercise, total game changer. I'm having some troubles with barre chords as well, I already feel you can fix it in these 13 min. Really appreciate your help, Max!
That's so great to hear...thanks for watching! I really appreciate it. If you're interested, check out my newsletters, there are a ton of topics like this with more in depth explanations/tabs etc. maxrichmusic.com/newsletter
@@MaxRichMusic I usually don't subscribe with my personal email address but I have to admit this is the first newsletter I'm actually doing it :) had a quick view on "mastering any scale" article and yes, you just got a new subscriber. Thank you, Max! you're a genius!!!
Oh man, what a compliment! Thank you very much your taking the time to check out my content. I'll make sure to keep doing my best to provide quality stuff that you can use. If there are ever any subjects you'd like to see me cover, please let me know!
@@MaxRichMusic Max, I really appreciate your engagement in this discussion. I'm mostly a self taught guitarists closing my 5th year of practice. Have a bunch of music theory knowledge but of course, there is still more to learn. What I like about your videos is actually the way you think and see things. There are plenty of great youtubers who explain it very well but as we all are different, not all gaps can be covered. Guitar is a personalized experience and all the input we hear and see about it is mostly filtered and processed by our own capabilities and brain. And only after we can apply the outcome to our own needs, upgrading the skill and start seeing things more clear. Or better said, connecting the dots. The interesting part is that your videos cover some gaps I was having for quite some time but couldn't find a solution for them. No one else on youtube could do it for me so I'm really happy I found your channel! Speaking of newsletter, I found some very interesting articles and will deep dive into them during the following days. However, if I were to make a request, do you think you can write about your personal view on how do you hear intervals and chords? You already have an article about intervals but it's mostly based on music theory. I am curious to understand how do you visualize the improvisation part using intervals and what feelings do they create in your case. Any tips and tricks here? How do you like to apply tension and release? Also, if it's possible to make another article but most probably similar to this one about chord functions, that would be great :) In case your already covered these topics, just let me know and I'll check your website. Many thanks again!!!
I've watched dozens of videos on barre chords, but this is the first one that mentions moving the thumb. This takes me from almost there, to all the way. Thanks. I'll check out your other vids soon
Right on man! Glad to hear that. While you're at it, check out the free weekly newsletter and consider signing up if you enjoy what you find. Thanks! maxrichmusic.com/newsletter
Any exercise on how to do hammer ons or pull offs ,while keeping the Barr chord the sound doesn’t come out strong enough when I do it , really enjoy your lessons very well explained and very technical,thanks
Thank you! That's a pretty specific topic and there could be multiple reasons why you're having trouble with it. I can't, in good conscience, just recommend a standard exercise for it if I don't know exactly what the problem is. Feel free to email me and we can discuss it more.
There could be several things going on. It's possible you have the guitar too low and you have to bend the wrist in order to do it...it's also possible that you're doing the barre chord incorrectly. It's hard to say without seeing it, but I'm happy to take a look and let you know if you want to send me a pic/video via email... maxrichmusic.com/contact
Notes: Thumb towards the body = Rotates the arm/hand - Side of finger
Great lesson! 😁
Thanks so much!
Dude! This thumb pinching business is exactly what has been holding me back. Thank you for giving me a good solution!!!

Thanks trying to keep my fingers straight on barre chords is very hard my index finger wants to turn sideways
That's a common problem...but you can easily fix it. Shoot me an email and I can help you out if you'd like.
