I love bar chords. But they aren't always the answer. Whether you're still struggling to make your bar chords sound good, feeling fatigued after playing them, or you're just looking for a more nuanced way to fill the space in the music, then this video is for you. I'll be digging into five of my favorite alternatives to playing bar chords on the guitar. The first three are perfect for players that can't play full bar chords yet. The last two are for the intermediate or advanced player looking for a more efficient way to get their musical point across. No matter where you're at with your playing, you'll find at least one of these bar chord alternatives useful!

I hope you enjoy the video. Thanks for watching!
