Conditions and treatments
Fingers hurting?
If your fingers are hurting then your guitar may require several modifications.
If notes or chords are difficult to play around the 1st fret of the guitar then you will require a nut adjustment. If this is the case you will find the F chord particularly difficult to play.
Difficulty playing barre chords?
If you’re finding hard to hold down strings around the neck of the guitar then you may need a rod (inside the neck) adjustment. This can be done by measuring the action (distance of strings from frets) by using a gauge with a capo and adjusting the rod with an Allen key
If your action (distance of strings from frets) is high then also it could be the bridge that is not set up correctly.
If both of these are not set up correctly then barre chords will be hard to play cleanly.
All of these procedures are delicate and require the correct tools. The rod adjustment is manageable, you can probably find a guide on youtube, however be warned it can go wrong.
