Ok, I removed the Elixir strings and put Daddario strings. Oh man, it was as I suspected. Daddario is so much more soft, now that's what I'm talking, its like I'm playing cotton compared to Elixir, Elixir is like playing hard stiff steel (the worst type of steel) strings, wow, I'm so glad I changed it. Now I think it's about practicing a little bit more with all the tips I got it
I knew something wasn't right. So I guess I'm not using Elixir ever again |

Oh man I can't believe it, I don't need to practice anymore (I mean practice F chords, or first fret barre chords, now it's about speed), both Fm and F is sounding perfectly (98% of the time). I guess the time I spend with the hardcore strings (Elixir) was kinda good if you look at another view. Uau, I can move foward now
I guess I beat the hardcore F BOSS FIGHT* and now I'm a legit official guitarist!! xD *I like to play games too, so that's why the analogy Last edited by Kerbie; 06-22-2021 at 03:22 PM. Reason: Profanity prohibited |

I was thinking, maybe the Elixir that I bought wasn't original? I bought online and I paid a lot of money, it looks like it was original indeed but who knows. Well I'm not buying again just in case. Daddario and Ernielball do the job just fine.

Anyway I got a very amateur YouTube channel which I just created to record my progress, go check it out if you wanna laugh or give me some advice
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCYT...ATNiHsQ/videos Most of the song is in brazilian because I'm brazilian LOL but there's some english ones too and even my first time learning barre, not even a chord but just the barre without freting LOL My english of course is broken, I'm best at writing not talking english xd |

I suppose my barre finger gets a bit more perpendicular when I barre an F, but not totally. I find barres easier when you don't try to accomplish them with sheer strength. And all of us need to modify our barre positions to fit our hands. I don't think there is a perfect, nor universal way to barre 'correctly'. After teaching fingerstyle for 40 years, I've seen amazing ways people have learned to easily barre (even the F on the first fret). For me I need to extend my barre finger a bit as I go up the fingerboard to avoid the crease inside of my knuckle from falling directly over a string (you have talked about this already). Barres are not a strength move, but more a lever forming pressure using the finger, thumb (underneath the neck) and fretting 'elbow'. Keeping the headstock elevated to at least chin level helps (unless you play with a strap at waist level). |

So guys I did a little video showing the current state of my F and Fm chord. Looks like I can do them but in the Fm chord, the G string sounds buzzing a lot, is that normal, like do I need to fix that or I can move forward?
The F chord I just need to put my fingers in the right position as you can see. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtRB...enanRischiotto |
