Subject: Is 'E A good RICK for a change?
Not that I'm a good guitarist or anything but I just had to join in the RICK/CHORDS threads.
Some guy up in the mountains of Colorado taught me this sneaky trick and I wondered just how many Mudcatters actually USE it.
Start with a standard E chord (1st. finger, 3rd. string, 1st fret - index finger, 5th. string, second fret - ring finger 4th. string second fret.) and just roll your hand down into a Barre A Chord with your ring finger.
I don't use it much because my fingers are not flexible enough to avoid touching the first string, but it's really handy for a quick change.
