My teacher has frowned on the thumb over low E string and wants me to perfect the index finger position.
The funk chords all stem from that barre. I will keep practising every day if necessary, low E, A, D and high E strings are down, G and B strings need work. The exercise is tough but thorough. Despite the discomfort and soreness afters, it is a labour of love.
@JB your strat looks ace, great guitar for learning mine is late 80’s and still sounds really clean.

Yeah they are when starting out - I was self-taught and it was only after a proper lesson after a few years later that I discovered I had my ring and pinky fingers the wrong way around 😆
This is obviously not a way to avoid proper barring, but have you tried the thumb over the low E approach?
