Good advice from Chris. It is also often helpful to move the finger
just some millimetres up or down. In long passages it's important to
use the arm weight rather than pressing hard.

Betreff: [LUTE] Re: Barring tips
My advice for barring would be to drink a lot of water beforehand,
when
you're there and when you get home.
It also helps to curve your finger - the arch shape is much stronger
than a straight finger, meaning that you don't have to use as much
muscular Force to press down. Also, place the finger down more on
the
side than flat. If you can, try to mash the strings with the boney
side
of a knuckle instead of the fleshy part of yer fanger.

note.
This is espaecially so when the note is on a middle course. Would
heavier frets - short of buzzing the strings -help? (currently
using
1.1mm 1st, graded downward in 0.05 increments). I'm guessing an
arched
fingerboard woulds be ideal, but I can't afford that right now.
Thanks and regards,
