I read this as

I fear no man,

But that thing...

Bare cords...

Made with mematic..

Are we talking guitar? Because if we're talking guitar then it's all about thumb placement. Thumb print on the arch of the neck should help with getting cleaner barres.

A good trick I learned that help me learn funky chord shapes is to make the chord as carefully and correctly as you can on the guitar, then squeeze as hard as you can for 5-10 seconds. It really ingrains the muscle memory for the chord shape well if you do it 2-3 times a day over a couple of days it can really work.

I have a guitar sitting around I haven't even tried to learn because I'm deathly afraid the old ass strings are gonna snap and cut my eye lol.

Idfk how much it would cost to restring it or how hard it would be to do it myself, I could probably tune it myself but idk anything about guitars.

my fingers too boney to do barre chords :(

Barre chords killed my interest in learning guitar. I have some mild arthritis and my instructor spent 15 minutes trying to get me to complete it my hand hurt so much I canceled my lessons and didn't pick it up again.

Nylon strings?

you can put yer finger across the neck? BAM barree nomatter it sounds like shit just knock over the amp and shred!

j/k... the thing you and me both need is: more practice.

Guitar player here - there is a trick!

Put your fingers into position and apply minimal but even pressure, then pull your arm back by rotating your shoulder (away from the guitar) and use the strength of your arm instead of your fingers to apply pressure.

Just stopping by to say that barre chords are lame and you don't have to play like that, you can pick a subset of notes and create your own sounds, fingerings, patterns/arpeggios, etc. There are no rules, if it doesn't work like that, try something different.
