[@EliseEcklund]

You can do it! Barre chords can be difficult at the beginning even if you have long fingers. It just takes practice:)

that little sidenote about the thumb pressing against the back is actually very very helpful! I don't know why it didn't occur to me, but it's so much easier for me to play barre chords this way! It completely changed my sound

I've been struggling with Bm for WEEKS and all I was getting was muting and hand cramp (after I realised to move my thumb down for support) but that tip for using the side of my index instead of the front is a game changer! Just tried it and it played beautifully. Thank you! Just a beginner but it was so frustrating that I couldn't get it at all.
