Before becoming a member of BGU I took a few lessons from a guy at the guitar store. When I played a barred minor chord (among others, but for example) I would cover the 4th and 5th string with my ring finger rather than ring and pinky. He was all over me and told me not to do that. The strings ring clean and my chord changes are much faster. Still, "don't do that". At the time I resisted doing it because I thought there was a reason that at some point down the road would prove to be a bad habit. Now, Griff who seems to say if its workin' for you. . . It's not that I have large fingers, because I don't but the shape of my finger works nicely with this technique. Thoughts?
