The Bb chord on guitar is definitely one of the hardest barre chords around and it is the one that gives a lot of beginners and intermediate guitarists a lot of bother. Today, I’ll show you some ways to simplify this, play it with better technique (which no one really teaches), how NOT to play it and even ways to “invert” it for a sophisticated take on the chord.
As you can see from (my rather dodgy) illustration, the F Major chord can be one hell of a frustrating chord that makes people want to curse to the high heavens or make grown men and women weep with anguish and smash their guitars up in frustration.
Have you ever seen a Bm guitar chord in a song, then with a look of horror, you run off and never looked at the song again?
Ok, that might be an exaggeration, but a lot of guitarists fear the Bm guitar chord like it is the Freddie Krueger of chords. Yes, it can be a little difficult to play, but there are easier ways, as you’ll see below… And the fact is, the B minor chord is so useful and is featured in so many classic songs.
