How do I barre that chord in The Drapery Falls intro?

[estimate]

Kinda funny, our gitarist used to be in pain after playing that , but I think he's got it now.

I don't like Katatonic's way of playing it as it's harder to switch to the ol Meshuggah chord.

My way is good. You don't get the high C note with that chord. So there

Also, I got the cookie. 'Nuff said

you'l be playing the top 3 strings mostly (E,A,D)- your first finger plays the "c" (6th string, 8th fret) while basically muting all others- second finger plays "g" (5th string, 10th fret) and your fourth finger will hammer on the "d" (4th string, 12th fret) then slide up to the d# (4th string, 13th fret)- strum out the chord in time to get the feel for the hammer and slide-

WHAT hammer and slide?! WTF! I don't think they do any hammer on to the 13th fret, that's for sure...

You guys have any more tips. I've been practicing but I can't get every note to ring. And some of the notes buzz. I tried going slowly but I still can't get every note to ring on the first chord, especially the G string.

ive got fairly small hands.. that cord isnt hard to hit for me at all. try the same cord where you barre on the third fret like in patterns in the ivy hehe. that one usually gives me a little buzz on the top note
