Hi Terra,

Sorry for any confusion. Here's what I mean

-0-
-0-
-6- middle finger
-7- pinky finger
-7- ring finger
-5- index finger

Doing that will put your hand in the correct formation for barre chords. Practice that for awhile and eventually start lowering your index finger to a full barre position.
