Allan Mathews and Matthew McAllister on Barre Technique
Allan writes; ‘Bar chords are strenuous. They take strength and endurance. They are hard to get right and easy to get wrong. But there are ways to make them more likely to work. If we use our bodies well, bar chords can be, if not comfortable, at least doable’.
Its hard to execute Barre technique correctly and I have found them very difficult in certain positions. So, any help with this appreciated… Thanks Allan and Matthew
