| Dec 23, 2017 at 9:10 | comment | added | Peter Kirkpatrick | @Aba, you play the whole exercise in 7th position. This means that you play the fret 7 notes with your first finger (left hand). Play fret 8 notes with finger 2, fret 9 notes with finger 3 and so on. In theory you can play this whole exercise pressing and lifting individual fingers on one string at a time. But the idea here is that you can improve your barre chord technique if you place finger 1 as a barre across all 6 strings at fret 7. then press and lift the other fingers to play the note series as listed. | |

| Jan 16, 2015 at 9:00 | comment | added | Mr. Boy | Basically it does just come down to practice, there is technique to it but you do require a certain basic level of strength especially to play one for a long time rather than "look I can play a barre". | |
