1. How do you avoid bar chords?

How do you avoid bar chords?

1. Lower the action as much as you can without fret buzz.
2. Try a lighter gauge set of strings.
3. Re-set your bridge intonation for the new gauge strings so its not out of tune when you play barre chords.
4. Don't try press all the strings down with the barre finger just the outsides.
