3rd String muted when playing minor barre chords.?

Question

Every time I want to play a minor barre chord, the 3rd (G) string is muted while the others ring perfectly. I've tried adjusting my hand position so this doesn't happen but nothing seems to work. And I know the issue is not my guitar because I have two and I continue to have the problem. Any suggestions?

Practice. Your finger strength may need to build up a bit. Try playing a Gm in a different voicing. And not everything string needs to ring perfectly for it to be the chord your looking for. I rarely even hit the G string when I'm play barre chords.
