Cant do some chords on my guitar.... Grr

[OnceMoreWithFeeling]

So yeah, I can't seem to be able to manlipalate my fingers into being able to do chords that have one finger pressing all of the strings down on the fret. Does anyone have any tips or exercises that I can do to fix this? I have an electric and an acusstic (spelling?) guitar.


Thanks.

One of those videos has a good finger technique.

Learn pentatonic scales, like so. 59ovgv4HinA
There are plenty more pentatonic scales that you should learn. Here's a video that gives a walk through, etc.

Oh wait, were you talking about bar chords? Just practice barring a single fret.

Yeah, it takes time to get used to it. "Nothing Else Matters" by Metallica is a good song for practicing them. Sounds awesome too.

I just got the hang of it by doing it lots of times, practise a lot.
And it's 'acoustic' :P
