My barre chording is vastly improved from last October, so a big thank you to Larry!

One thing that didn't get mentioned in the original batch of advice is the function of the depth of the neck. As you can see by my signature, I prefer a real "handful" of neck on my guitar. A deeper, fuller neck will give more leverage with less effort.
