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

    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.
