If that's a hard "G", what's an easy one? That's the one I use all the time 'cos I like the sound better than letting the open B ring.

I am not comfy with the "C" - with the 9th ("D") in all the time, and I have never liked the bottom E in C. I much prefer the bottom G. This could be done if you have fat fingers by using the ring finger at a slight angle to fret both the G and the C at the same time.

I also am unhapy with the D withthe G in. The one I do like (up from the bottom string in order) is AADDFsharpA (sort of about half of an A at the 5th fret) - it makes a nice shift with the G you use, and the E described in the thread used as if it were an E minor.
