Is the bar chord supposed to hurt my wrist that much-

Oskari Seppälä says:

Any tips? A major barres are very difficult cause all 3 fingers won't fit easyly after 4fr..

For everyone struggling, have the tip of your index finger slightly above the neck. It's an important cue that can make it a lot easier IMO

I watched this last November and my breakthrough moment with the F chord came when I used my arm weight

Steve Davis says:

Great lesson Rob. Thumb placement makes all the difference in the world. More than the half way point behind the neck. Huge help. Thanks
