difficulty with barre chords

I was just looking to see if someone posted Stu Fuchs' technique. Sliding that thumb further toward the headstock helps many of us barre more cleanly as the finger rotates slightly off the fleshy part of the finger and uses more of the side of the finger for firmer and more even pressure. I had a workshop with Stu at the Tampa Bay Ukulele Getaway a few years back. Great teacher.

Right on. I agree with the thumb technique. Sometimes with barre chords, it helps if my finger is right behind the frets that I'm barring and sometime it helps if it's up as far as I can reach towards the headstock.
