Hey pal! A lot of people struggle with barring chords, its mostly down to hand position I usually find, you say the sound is ok but its moving around thats the problem? Could it be that you are gripping the neck a bit tight? Try to loosen up enough to barre the chord but not strangle the life out of your guitar, also check your thumb position, a lot of people use the thumb over the top method but this can make barring difficul, try placing your thumb in the middle of the back of the neck and press with the ends of your fingers, not the pads. Once you can do both types of grip (They both have benefits in playing) you can switch easily between the two. Check out the attached photos. Now this is what I call a nice barre grip man! -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

Seems I also learned something here today Mayby a bit offtopic question, but just to know I got it right this time : E-shape minor : e---7---- E-shape major : e---7---- A-shape minor : e---7---- A-shape major : e---7---- As I understand, the above is correct, right ? Top to bottom: B Major B Minor E Minor E Major Have a look at this site for figuring out chords and relevant positions mate, its really good! http://www.all-guitar-chords.com/index.php...mm=&get=Get |

I agree with Ramiro, the hey is in posture and balance, you want to save your energy...press hard enough for good sound.
