Cos it makes some chords a bastard to play. The moveable Bb specifically:
e:1
B:3
G:3
D:3
A:1
E:-
That one anywhere, where you have to form a barre with your fourth finger. It ends up either getting in the way of the e string or the A. Anyone else have this trouble? Any advice?
use a capo on frist fret lol and then play an a or just miss out the 4th finger note
or wen i was learning it i just played it as a 2 finger pwerchord then added my pinky onto the 4th ill all come natural man my fingers are like aty least 7 cm tall and its a buggere for me but you always find away round it
just keep trying diffrent shapes and ull eventually feel comfortable with a position that you will stick to thats the way i did it it was a strugle at first but u get the hang of it pretty quick its essenitally just a power chord with the 4th so if u think at it like that its not really that hard
just keep trying diffrent finger positions and itll just click into place eventually
Ok, thanks for the advice.
I never had this trouble learning, cos I learnt on a classical, but now on an acoustic, it's exceptionally difficult. I do suppoe my best bet is to leave the top Bb off where I need that form of the chord, and so keeping the F sound.
ah acoustic can be harder because of the action of the strings your best bet would be to just use a Bb power chord but mute the 4th note with your 3rd finger
it will still give u the same effect of the chord but it just wont sound as tight as it could be
I have huge ET fingers...many jokes... so when I have trouble (which I do) I just bar the e with 3 as well (looks like a V) it's not the right cord, but it still sounds nice.
If you play a major with an A string root, then it would be a lot easier to barre with your first finger, then use 2, 3, and 4 for the other 3 notes, instead of using the 4th for all three. It can be a little hard to get all 3 in there, but it's still easier than barring with your 4th.
