Our Big Mick wimping out? Marion, how could you?

Actually small hands and a classical guitar don't make it any easier, but like anything else, practice will get you there. It opens up literally thousands of new ways to make playing in G more interesting. Usually I get people to play G7 and then lift just the index finger and put the pinky down on the third fret..then, off again back to the G7. On and off..repeated at least 50 times. Your trick of leaving off the high string is quite valid, because at least your still using the middle and ring.. freeing up the index for lead work.
