Is it possible to barre all strings with just one finger? The side of my index finger, the portion in between the two joints has a sort of arch which mutes the string in that area. Typically it mutes 2 strings. [br][br]
im asking this because I can't play any dominant 7 barres without muting a string.
I just recently bought the Yamaha fg800.

The trick is to try to move your finger up & down, tilt it, or roll it slightly until you find a position in which you can barre all the notes required. I cover some of those options in this tutorial on barre chords for beginners.

Alternately there are many ways to play dominant seventh chords that don't requirebarring or all the strings. I cover some of those dominant 7th chords in these lessons.
