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.

ok, i'm guilty of the death grip.
well, not as much as when i started out.
i have the Epi GT and love it. Finally quit dickin with Sam Ashe and took it to an established family owned music shop here in town. The tech was awesome! He spent two hours on it while I waited. He talked to me, showed me what he was doing. The guitar isn't the same (I mean that in a positive way). I can actually hear all the strings. Amazing difference.
I plan to start taking lessons in January for as long as i can afford it.
