Q: I have a hard time in a certain part of making chords on the guitar- namely the barring... I don't know if that's what you guys know it as, but it's where you use one finger to press down on more than one string. I can do it a little, but it's really hard, especially when you're trying to press on all 6! Are there any hints, like changing the angle of my hand or something, to make it easier?
turn your hand so that your index finger is against the strings you want to hold down. then you can use all fingers to push down just press then together. to make your hands stronger practice alot and rub the tips of your fingers on the strings after and before every practice then soon theyll be harder and wont hurt playing guitar. also to hold down the strings you dont have to stay in the fret but you can use all your fingers but stay behind the fret towards the top you can put the rest of your fingers. umm ima lil late but i was searching all guitar questions.

Thank you, I'm sure it will help...
