I'm now at ForOrchestra.com arranging pop songs for orchestra.

Hey Walt, great video.
Quick question about the B-chord. When I bar the 3 strings (b, g and d), I find it pretty hard to not touch the E string given that a BAR is pretty straight :-) …any thoughts on that. I assume that when you play the B chord, you hit all the strings from the 5th string down including the E which should be open.

Thanks alot,

p.s.I occasionally travel to Philly on business. I would love to drop by for a lesson if you offer them. Based on the amount of content you offer, I doubt you do that but never hurts to ask.

Whenever I play the bar I usually also block out the High E string. If you wanted to play the E open tho, I suggest playing the chord similar to your A chord and moving it up 3 frets.

So ultimately, your 2,3, and 4th fingers are playing the D, G, and B strings respectively. That’ll free it up :)

Very interesting blog. We’ll go to him more often.
