I'm a girl- it's probably no excuse but I do find it pretty hard to press my index finger on all 6 strings at one time and let it all ring perfectly. I try my best to use the side of my finger, and things do get easier if I'm just pressing my index against all strings instead of really doing a chord (with other fingers on the strings too), since that way I can exert more force on the index. Is there anything I can do to really succeed in pressing a perfect barre chord? Hi there - its just practice really - you need to build up strength in your hand to be able to press the strings hard enough. Keep trying, and just reflect that every time you end up with an aching hand at the end of a practice session, you are a little closer to perfect bar chords -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile

I've always been using my thumb on the low E string, then I just have to use my index finger on the 3 highest strings.

I've always been using my thumb on the low E string, then I just have to use my index finger on the 3 highest strings. That works for a lot of chords and will give you some chords you can;t even get with a bar, but will run you into trouble eventually if you rely on exclusively on it. Its a useful trick to have as well as bar chords i would suggest -------------------- Check out my Instructor profile
