sorry, maybe i should've been more specific
i can do normal bar chords, but i can't grab both high strings with my index because my guitar is a bitch to press. my finger is all the way down but the string kinda like cuts up into the flesh

Topic: yet another barre chord topic (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
i can't seem to get both the b and the e when i do the thumb over barre chords. so i fix this by either choosing to press one and mute the other. my question is, which is better to play? on the G bar chord, i've noticed it doesn't sound like an open E chord without the e but i noticed the A doesn't sound close to the open A while pressing the e.
i know that an alternate fingering to the F is to do it without the high e, does this apply to every bar chord? should i just play the e on certain chords and play the b on others?

im looking to buy my first electric
nothing too expensive
i'm really in love with guitars with natural mahagony looks, something like an Ibanez SA120.
anyone have any suggestions?

thanks for the help guys. i still haven't decided what im gonna do yet.
i doubt this guitar is warped, it's 30 years old but it's a freaken tank. i could put it through a windshield, take it back out and play a song with it.

hey, i've got a yamaha fg-335 that i pulled out of my dads closet. i've been playing it for a while, and it's remarkably harder to play then all my friends guitars. im using medium guage strings.
I measured my 12th fret and it's at 6 mm which is 1/4 inch on the bass E. a few minutes on google showed me that my action is *really* high. my saddle is 8/64 of an inch high on the bass. how much do you think i should take off?
