I am o.k with rythm but, my problem lies with barre chords and being able to stretch my fingers. Any suggestions? I am currently in fundementals 2 and it seems to help out. Anyway, just thought I would say hello.

What's difficult (if you can explain) about holding the chords? Kinda hard to explain I 'spose but what to do depends on your struggle. You'd said something about the 'stretch', do you mean like you are have trouble with 'fretting' the chord like holding it down and not have you finger hit the frets (thus making it buzz)? Kinda like it's hard to get the space far enough between the index finger and the ring/pinky to confidently hold down the chord and not struggle with holding it 'wide enough'?
