Barre Chord Technique? 

I am trying to improve my barre chords.

Should I practice barre chords with my thumb just gently resting to try and use my arm more? Or will I add too much stress elsewhere in my body. I find my hand gets very tired quickly and I am trying to find a happy medium. Any thoughts?

Lower the action or practice on a guitar with lower action until you develop strength.

Yes Boss!

I will give up my idea of using the arm, and try to improve my hand strength. Thanks!
