Hey guys! I hope you all are having a wonderful day! Lots of you have been asking about how to make playing barre chords easier, so I thought I'd share my best tips with you! Also, I wanted to remind you that you can get 20% off any Flight ukulele from goo.gl/CaumLe when you use the promo code ELISE Thanks guys!! Love you Xx
oh my god if i had this last year when i was really struggling with barre chords, i’d have learned so much faster! thanks anyway tho, i’m sure this will help everyone learning right now, you’re awesome
I'm just starting learning ukulele and I was struggling a lot with Bm. You were the only one I could find that actually gave helpful info. THANK YOU!! :)
Thank you!! I've been looking at videos by folks who have been playing/teaching for years but this is the most detailed and helpful vid I have found on barre chords. Great info!! Really appreciate this!
Oh my god. OH MY GOODNESS. This is the most helpful video ever, I cannot thank you enough- I have been struggling for barre chords for so long and i've just realised that it was my poor posture that made it virtually impossible so THANK YOU AAAAAAAA
I've been struggling with Bm for WEEKS and all I was getting was muting and hand cramp (after I realised to move my thumb down for support) but that tip for using the side of my index instead of the front is a game changer! Just tried it and it played beautifully. Thank you! Just a beginner but it was so frustrating that I couldn't get it at all.
thank you! Very helpful. I was having trouble with B flat 7. It helped when i used my ring finger on the 2nd fret instead of my middle finger. Then I could add extra pressure with the middle finger on top of the index to bar.
Thank you so much! I couldn’t play barre courts to save my life, everything was so muted, and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong' but this helped me so much. Thank you! 💜💜💜
barre chords are the thing that i struggle a lot with when playing. i’m starting to play songs with the barre shapes of regular chords for practice. thanks for the video, it was super helpful :)
That moment when all ive been doing lately is struggle with barre chords and this video with all these tips saved my life and couldnt be better timed! Haha
@morriskids6989 have you started playing ukulele yet? It's been 5 years, you could be a pro by now LoL 😅. Did you know you can play over 100 songs after learning just 3 basic chords? Give it a try!
:O the tip to roll your index finger back is a amazing! I couldn't pull of a Bm chord w/o hitting extra strings with my ring finger until I tried your method. THANK YOU!
Thanks! Great video. I was muting strings every time I tried to play barre chords. No tutorials were helping til I saw this. A string was always in a groove on the other side of my knuckle.
I've been through like 5 videos trying to learn this and this was waaaaaaaay more helpful than any of the other videos with more hits. You're amazing. Thank you so much
Elise you dont know how much you helped me out through my ukelele learning journey. You have amazing tutorials for beginners who are even struggling on how to press basic chords and and you give some great tips to make clear sounds when it seems impossible at first. Thanks for all the helpful videos you've shared so far🌼🌺🌸😍
that little sidenote about the thumb pressing against the back is actually very very helpful! I don't know why it didn't occur to me, but it's so much easier for me to play barre chords this way! It completely changed my sound
This video came out at the most perfect time ever. I just bought myself a ukulele and while im waiting for it to get here i've been watching all of your videos. A song you played had a barre chord and I didnt even know what that was and this video covered it perfectly 🙈😂
I think my finger is bleeding AND ALL OF THE STRINGS ARE STILL MUTED😫😩 Edit: It’s been 3 months and I still can’t play a barre chord Edit: 6 months, and I am getting pretty close.
Loved the video, I would really love it if you could make a video on how to re-string a ukulele for a left handed person because I am left handed and really want to play but would have to re-string the strings. Thank you 😊 Elise!!
You got all the high points. A lot of cheap ukes make this harder by not having a radiused fretboard. With guitar you don't have to be as careful where your index finger lands since the curve fits the finger's curves better than a flat slab. But steel strings make up for that, of course.
I JUST WANNA PLAY A B! Well, this video was quite helpful. Definitely makes it easier to position. Even if my hand cramps a ton, I gotta learn to do this. Love your channel!
Thank you so much I can now play barre chords. It was actually quite easy for me even though I haven’t been playing a year yet. Although the barre chords with both the middle and ring finger are a bit tricky I’ll get them soon
Elise, I'd like to say that you have inspired me to pick up ukulele! I'm getting it soon, maybe in 3 weeks to 1 month (?) Thanks for being a great inspiration, Elise!
Nobody has ever taught me about rolling my finger and that instantly give me great progress on playing the chord. Thank you !
it helped so much
Girl I LOVE your hair!

I tried few different tutorials, yours was very helpful thank you !
The Tip with your thumb was so helpful!
thank you! Very helpful. I was having trouble with B flat 7. It helped when i used my ring finger on the 2nd fret instead of my middle finger. Then I could add extra pressure with the middle finger on top of the index to bar.

I’ve only been playing for a few months and your videos are just so helpful 💜❤️
Thank you so much I can now play barre chords. It was actually quite easy for me even though I haven’t been playing a year yet. Although the barre chords with both the middle and ring finger are a bit tricky I’ll get them soon
OK THE SIDE FINGER TIP REALLY HELPED
