Hello,
I have begun learning to barre chords in the past couple of days. I can play the E, A, and Am forms okay(ish) but I have real problems with the Em form. When I take my finger off the G string it becomes muted instead of barred (especially on higher frets, 4+). That string seems to naturally fall in the knuckle for me. Does this sound like a finger strength problem, a technique problem, or could it be a guitar setup problem (the action is a wee bit higher than I would like it to be)?
Any input from anyone would be cool. Oh, for reference the only open chords that I can change to consistently is E, A, Em, and Am. I got my guitar for valentines day, is it too early to try and learn barres?
