hi guys, greetings from sunny Singapore!

@John ... i feel you pal. I have the same problem, on especially barre cords. I literally get forearm cramps with some shapes, especialyl those requiring my ring finger.

[br]Other than ploughing through hours and hours of aweful sounds, are there other ways to practice or build finger/arm strength that helps make for cleaner fretting?

By the way, I've been a brand new guitar player for a better part of 2 years now. On and off again since the start of covid. So i'm now trying to get serious enough to get to the point where i don't piss off the neighbours!
