Barre chords are one the most difficult fingerings for guitar. They require solid technique and
strength in order to produce a clean sounding chord. Try not to get frustrated when learning and
practicing barrre chords. The best way to master them is to take each fingering and play it
on each fret starting from fret one all the way up to fret seven. Take your time and check each
string to make sure it sounds clean without much buzzing.
