for barre chords, if the action is too high, you can have problems.....
were you place your thumb on the back fo the neck...
relax your left hand, newbies tend to put a death grip on the neck when chording. Proper technique is a plus here.
what is your guitar?? Neck radius can make a difference for some people. I
find I need to place my index finger a little higher up to get all the strings to sound....
But other than that, keep practicing, it does get easier.
