I'm not overpressing on purpose...I just realize that I'm doing it. I have little trouble with a G chord, or even D, but on C, my 3rd finger always kills the 3rd string. I'm going to work on a lighter press, and see if it helps. But anytime I need to stretch, my other fingers tend to lift off the strings unless I concentrate on pressing them down. I think that's where my hard pressing came from.
