Starting with the high E, play B, C, C#, D with fingers 1,2,3,4. Then play the same thing again but this time make a bar with the first finger while playing the B. Repeat this a few times, alternating between simple fretting the B or barring the whole fret. Repeat this on every string.

Why is it so hard to bar a fret?

BARRE CHORD The Barre chord is obviously the use of the index finger across the entire set of strings. The reason this is difficult is due to the tension of the string from the nut to the first fret... it's the hardest place of the fretboard. Play the E CHORD with your bottom three fingers of your fretting hand.
