Is it strength, flexibility, technique? If I dislocate my shoulder and hold my tongue just right, I can sometimes manage an F# or a G Barre chord. Other than that, nothing. My wrist, forearm, and fingers just literally cannot do it. I need help.

Hey Sburns --

This is always a big challenge, so you're not alone. Mike Olekshy recently did a GREAT Barre Chord two-part tutorial on YouTube here, where he has some super useful tricks!

Hope it helps you!
