Hi there people,

This is my first post to a forum here so please bear with me. I have been playing guitar a little over 6 months now, and can play a few chords and bash out a version of house of rising sun amongs another few songs.

Alls going quite well, the only REALLY annoying thing is
something I guess all find hard at first and thats play
F in its barre'd form. Please tell me this is just practice, basically my problem is I never quite press all the strings down (usually the 5th and 6th string) and/or mute strings with my middle finger cause I'm leaning for the barre.

So my question is, how do you get the pressure on the finger to press down all the strings simultaneously ? What position should my wrist be in (I'm sure I'm doing this wrong as that seems where the pressure should come from) or is this really insanely difficult and its just practice practice practice ??
