Hi,

I've been training switching to barre chords, mainly to Bm a lot. About half a year. Almost every day. I just can't make the switch fast enough. I made progress of course at the beginning, but last months none. I've trained with metronome, 1 minute changes, pressed and hold the shape down. Done drills slowly and fast. Nothing seems to work anymore.

I form the chord like this: first the Am shape with middle, ring and pinky. Then barre with index. I try to barre as simultaneously as possible, but still my barre is little late.

If I try to barre first and then form the rest of the chord it feels unnatural.

Any tips? Yes, I know, train more. Problem is that I train, but there seems to be no development at all anymore. Frustration is kicking in. I've been playing 16 months.
