Everyone's wrist will bend when playing barre chords. I don't think there is any way to avoid it.


Good luck.

Hi Thank for reply.If a bent wrist is  normal that’s  ok, it’s just that popular mantra and endless advice keeps saying don’t play with bent wrist always play with STRAIGHT wrist, my wrist is straight on open chords but as soon as I lay my first index finger to barre  a chord my wrist goes to bent (all advice refers to carpal tunnel) Thanks Jack.
