When playing this bar chord shape i find it hard to get all my fingers in the fret any tips ?
Hiya,
Start by getting the 4th 3rd and 2nd fingers in place in that order, then add the 1st as the barre. You might find you need to angle your index finger diagonally a little to make it comfortable.
Best,
A :-)

I find that particular fingering uncomfortable - I barre the D, G, B strings with my little finger.
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.

How can you do that when the E needs to be played two frets before ?
There are two ways:
- I bend the little finger so that the high E sounds clearly.
- I mute the high E with the little finger, it's actually unnecessary as you have the same note on the D string.
Strictly speaking, this is a slash chord - the root is on the A string and the low E would not be played.
