Barre chords good, but It didn't take me too much practice to get the EM "right." and I don't usually pick things up that quickly. I soon figured out I had to rotate my left hand counter-clockwise, closer to the headstock, so it's easier to place my fingers more horizontally across the 2,3,4 strings. A correct EM Will be the key to many moveable chords you will want to play as you progress. I practiced it a lot when I first learned "Hey Soul Sister." Good luck.
