Amos....thank you for the suggestion! I just tried it out and it sounds pretty good. I'm embarassed to say that all barr chords are beyond me, despite years of practice...I can't even do the "short" version of Bminor, so am very glad to have substitute...I've always loved the sound of a Bminor going into an Eminor....when someone ELSE plays it.

And Rick...never having had the money for lessons, I would love to spend even an hour with anyone who could make me a better guitar player! But I think an hour or 2 with you would be of more help than most...the way you explain stuff makes even me almost understand it...I think you are a born and gifted teacher.
