There are two barre chord shapes that prove to be the most useful and the ‘E’ Shape is certainly one of them.
This workout is designed to get your fingers comfortable with the E shape, as well as be able to troubleshoot what area of it may be giving you problems.
The benefits of this exercise can be gained by players of all experience levels whether you are just nailing down the chord shape itself or you are looking to make this barre chord shape smoother and easier.

Wow! Index finger is very sore from the barring across the first fret. Adjusting the pressure is not easy and it is very hard, for now, doing this exercise. Doesn’t help that I have a little arthritis in the right hand thumb which when placing the fingers on the necessary strings can fire off the discomfort. Again, the goal is, in time, to be successful on this and the other barre chord lessons.

I love this practice. I got it well, but I played a lot of barred chords. I’ve always practiced because my hand gets tired quickly when playing a lot of barred chords.

Yeah, the B string seems to be a universal problem, I ‘m having trouble muting the G also and it doesn’t take long to wear my hand and arm out. This is something and will work on frequently and sporadically
