I don't use barre chords much though, to be fair.
its when I only want to play the top few strings, like this:
--10--
--10--
--11--
--12--

That I have problems. And its worse higher up the neck.
I've watched several videos of guitarists playing the same bit from the same song (its the pre-chorus to Holiday in Cambodia) and I can't finger it the way any of them do without it really hurting. If I even attempt the thumb over the top trick I can't make the notes ring out cleanly at all.
I think it's a combination of my short stubby fingers (my wife is about four inches shorter than me and has longer fingers) and crappy technique.
Think I need to find myself a teacher to correct some bad habits...
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.
