Alright, I've been playing guitar for 2 years now. I know how to play bar chords and have been able to for sometime. However, I can't ever seem to get every string pushed down. I have decent chops. I play everyday. What is wrong with me? Perhaps the action on the guitars I play is too high? I use my thumb on the low E string often but that can be difficult to do at times and I usually get some buzz when I use my thumb.

Any suggestions? Kinda pisses me off. I'm trying to learn Duane Allman's "Little Martha" right now and one chord is giving me hell because its finger picked, so its noticeable if all the strings aren't ringing fully.
Let your soul shine. Its better than sunshine. Its better than moonshine. Damn sure better than rain.
