just a suggestion, take a good look at your action and make sure that its not too far off the neck. also using the correct tension on the fretboard will come to you in time. try to remember to use only the strength it takes to make the barre. i dont think that if the action is ok that it shuld take all of your strength to make a barre.

First, I [u]realy[/u] dont want to bother anyone.
That explenation you gave, Trolle, was very great!
But I can only create a (pretty) clear sound when I use the side of my index finger.
And I realy have to press as hard as I can for that. Its killing me! I know guitarplaying hurts your fingers alot, but if I press a little harder, I think I'm going to break the neck of my guitar!
(ok, nobody can break a guitarneck doing a barré, but you get my point, dont you?)
So is it normal that my G and B string still "flops" a little?
I dont want to bother people here, but I just wanted to know if that is normal...
