Hi, I'm a beginner who just started learning the F barre chord.

I can't get string 1 and 2 to ring clearly without applying insane force. Hmm I guess I have to just keep practicing until I can make it ring clearly without much effort.

How was your F barre chord journey? I'm sure experienced players here can enlighten my path.

I practiced my f barre for a few months and it was so difficult that I took a break from guitar for a while. Then I played it on someone else's guitar and it was easy.

That's how I learned the action on my guitar was too high. A setup by a luthier fixed that.

My broken truss rod might actually be a problem...
