“There must be a lot of monkey bars and turbo-tube slides in DeGeorgeʼs playground. Itʼs fun to zoom through all the melodies, wah stabs, keyboard flurries, shred bits and harmony solos, and then collapse with giddy exhaustion.”

Does This Sound Familiar?
Do your barre chords sound sloppy?
Do you struggle to make every note ring clearly?
Do your fingers feel like they are fighting against each other when you try to switch chords quickly?
Is "buzzing" and "clunking" just something you've accepted as part of playing barre chords?
If so, you're definitely not alone.
Almost every guitarist struggles with barre chords at some point.
But here's the good news:
The problem usually isn't your fingers being too weak.
It's that most players were never shown the small adjustments that make barre chords easier:
- How your thumb position affects your finger angle
- How your wrist angle affects finger position
- How your elbow position changes efficiency of fingers
- How to build the muscle memory that makes these movements automatic
Imagine being able to:
✓ Play barre chords that ring out as cleanly as open chords
✓ Finally play the songs you've been avoiding
✓ Move between barre chords smoothly and confidently
And the best part?
It doesn't require endless hours of squeezing and struggling.
Most players were simply never shown the small technique adjustments that make a huge difference—and make barre chords feel dramatically easier.
How I Discovered A Better Way To Teach Barre Chords
Rod DeGeorge at RFK Stadium
I've been fortunate enough to make a living as a professional guitarist and instructor for over 35 years.
I've performed at NFL halftime and pre game shows, Presidential Inaugural events, concerts in front of tens of thousands of people, I've been honored to receive praise from some incredible musicians I admired long before I ever picked up a guitar.
But the thing I'm most proud of isn't the stages I've played.
It's helping thousands of guitar players overcome the same frustrations I once struggled with.
Early in my teaching career, I noticed something interesting...
Some students were mastering techniques in weeks that had taken me much longer to learn.
At first, I wondered:
"Were they just naturally more talented than I was?"
Then I realized the difference.
When you're learning guitar yourself, it's easy to focus only on the result:
"Practice more."
"Build more strength."
"Keep trying."
But as a teacher, I was able to slow everything down and watch exactly what was happening.
I started noticing the small details that made the biggest difference:
- Thumb position
- Wrist angle
- Elbow position
- Finger efficiency
The subtle movements that experienced players often do naturally, but rarely explain.
Once I understood these details, I created short, focused exercises designed to build the correct movements and turn them into muscle memory.
The results surprised me
Students who started by saying:
"I'll never be able to do this."
...were often playing the chord successfully just minutes later.
One student actually looked at me and said:
"What kind of voodoo is this?"
I remember laughing because I understood exactly what she meant.
Of course, it wasn't magic.
The exercises simply taught the right movements in the right order—helping players build the muscle memory needed to make these techniques feel natural.
After 35+ years and more than 44,000 lessons taught, I've continued refining this approach with thousands of guitar players of all ages and skill levels.
And that process became the foundation of Pro Barre Chords & Easy Transitions—a step-by-step system designed to help you stop fighting your barre chords and finally play them with confidence.
Here's exactly how the system is structured to take you from struggling with barre chords to playing them confidently.

"Rod took me from a kid who could barely play power chords to a kid who could play anything I could imagine. I didn't know it at the time, but he had taught me the basics of technique & music theory in such a simple way that everything seemed to make sense when I ended up going to college and getting a music degree.
Throughout all of my struggles and mistakes, Rod only encouraged and pushed me to do better. I can honestly say I wouldn't be where I am today without Rod's helping hand. I am so grateful to have learned from such an amazing player and such an amazing person."

"Rod was a huge part of my beginnings as a musician. He always made learning a fun experience which kept me engaged to become a better musician."
Alex Pierce
Professional Bass Player/Instructor
"I am a professional musician living in Los Angeles, CA. I graduated summa cum laude from Berklee College of Music, and have toured with artists/bands like Chubby Checker and Badfinger.
I have Rod DeGeorge to thank for setting me on this path. He introduced me to other students of his and even helped us find our first gigs. Rod not only provided me with these opportunities, he supported me through each endeavor and tailored our lessons so that I would succeed in each situation. He motivated me to work very hard, but it never felt like work. I would not be where I am today without his knowledge and help."
