Barre chords... uh. I've played for more than 1,5 years now, practising barre chords at least a little every day of training. I still can't do them. Oh, I can, but I have to use my thumb as a clamp, and that can damage (and already did damage mine) the thumb.
So first I thought it could be because of a badly setup guitar... but I've tried lots of guitars, even the schools guitars, which must be the worst guitars ever as for sound and quality, but the playability is close to PERFECT. Guitars where I hardly have to touch the strings to get a good sound out of it, but when it comes to barre chords, NO. Impossible.
Since I barely see anyone else having THAT big a problem with barres, I'm beginning to think that it's something about me, something I'm doing wrong, or anything like it.
Any advice?
(sorry for hijacking thread! :O)
