Day 7: Barre Chords & ‘Cumbersome’ Chorus Practice | 2025 Guitar Challenge

On Day 7 of my 2025 Guitar Challenge, I’m refining my barre chord technique by working on the chorus progression of Seven Mary Three’s ‘Cumbersome’: F# - A - E. I’m also practicing the B Major barre chord instead of C to explore a different tonal option. This lesson builds finger strength and improves transitions for dynamic chord progressions. What I covered today: 🎸 Barre chords: F#, A, E, and B Major 🎸 Progression practice for the chorus: F# - A - E 🎸 Strumming and rhythm variations to match the song’s feel Tabs: F# Barre Chord (2nd fret, E-shape): e|---2---| B|---2---| G|---3---| D|---4---| A|---4---| E|---2---| A Barre Chord (5th fret, E-shape): e|---5---| B|---5---| G|---6---| D|---7---| A|---7---| E|---5---| E Major Chord (Open Position): e|---0---| B|---0---| G|---1---| D|---2---| A|---2---| E|---0---| B Major Barre Chord (7th fret, E-shape): e|---7---| B|---7---| G|---8---| D|---9---| A|---9---| E|---7---| Practice Tips: • Focus on even finger pressure for clean-sounding barre chords. • Start with slow transitions between F#, A, and E, then gradually increase speed. • Experiment with strumming patterns to capture the chorus’s energy.” Hashtags/Keywords: #GuitarChallenge #DailyGuitarPractice #CumbersomeCover #BarreChords #ChordProgressions #LearnGuitar #AcousticGuitar #SevenMaryThree #GuitarJourney2025 #GuitarPractice Call to Action: “Like and subscribe for daily guitar lessons!
