Next up, we're going to tackle bar codes now bar codes have a reputation of being very, very difficult

and they do take quite a bit of left hand strength.

But we want to always remember to try and keep the forum relaxed and focus on the tips of the fingers

being pressed against the strain.

However, since this is a bar code, what that means is the first finger here in the case of an F.

Bertaud, for example, is the first fingers in a bar across the first fret like that, not to just

play that, have all the notes.

Be clear.

He's actually really difficult and requires quite a bit of strength.

So if that is really too difficult to do on your guitar, one thing you could do is coppo up.

So use a Tapert, come up to the fifth fret, for example.

But, you know, if your guitar is relatively easy to play and your action is pretty good, these barcodes

are within reach and I encourage you to stick with them.

Remember the shapes, remember to visualize the shapes and just practice that pulsing motion of pushing

down on the strings, using the tips of your fingers and that bar, of course.

So the first chord we're going to look at is the F Bertaud.
