Bernard	Teaching the A chord (guitar) (71* d)	RE: Teaching the A chord (guitar)	31 Aug 12
Don - I would agree - and sometimes I'll use the other fingering if I want to fret the 2nd string third fret to give the G a more 'modal' sound (for want of a better term!). You may have gathered I'm classically trained, but don't inflict it on pupils who don't want it! Sorry, Stim, that makes no sense at all to me... I play ragtime guitar, which is next to impossible (to quote Stefan Grossman!) any other way... neatness of fingering is paramount, and you NEVER lift a finger unless you have to... I've no idea what 'Carter-picking' is... perhaps you could elucidate? As for playing scales... we're talking about playing CHORDS! Who said anything about scales?
