On a guitar how can you play strings 6 5 and 4 on the 10th fret at the same time?

Question

I am trying to play Never Too Late by Three Days Grace and i cant get any of the parts that have three fingers on consecutive strings. Can anyone give me some tips for playing this song?

Answer 1

Just barre it, that's all.

Answer 2

do the travis picking

Answer 3

what I would do is use my index to hold down the 7th fret on the E and B string, ring finger on the 10th fret, and then use my ring finger  to play the 10 bar chord. or you could do the same thing and then use your middle finger for the 10 bar chord. the last way I might see you playing it is index on 7th, ring on the 10th string, and then sliding your index all the way up to bar the 10th fret. haven't heard the song though, so that might sound goofy. but yea, those are the best 3 ways to do it. good luck!

Answer 4

Can't you bar two of them, and use the other finger over top? Are you playing a chord or individual notes? I'm assuming a chord. If you can't squeeze in there, maybe the neck isn't wide enough.

Answer 5

If your fingers won't squish together like that, you can always barre it with just one of your fingers. This means that you press that one finger across all three of those strings, like a capo.

A lot of people use this same technique to play an open A chord.

Hope this helped =)
