I never was really in the habit of barring of barring these power chords because it hurts the tone and any vibrato I might want to add. \|-------------------------------\|----------------10--\| \|-(9)r(9)-9b10r(9)-9b10r(9)-7-9-\|--7-9-7-------------\| \|-(9)-(9)-9b10r(9)-9b10r(9)-7-9-\|--7-9-7-------------\| \|-------------------------------\|--------------------\| \|-------------------------------\|--------------------\| \|-------------------------------\|--------------------\| Something like this, would you use your pinky and your index finger to play the the first two chords and use your point and middle for the chord starting on the 7th fret?

I can bar them and its sounds fine to an untrained ear I guess but who actually recommends doing it in another method? You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

I usually bar those chords as its seems economic to me. And you should be able to add some vibrato when playing those double stops too.... Try different methods for playing those passages and see what is most comfortable to you. There is no right or wrong way with this... You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.

Apart of economize your hand movement, you'll have 2 fingers ready to go for another passage You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
