Carol Norton-Smith says
That D shape with the pinkie is diabolical! Any reason I can’t make a half bar with my second finger on the D and the pinkie on the high A? That’s way easier for me.
Jerry says
No reason at all as long as you can still get the F# on the 6th string.
I show it this way because Cat plays it this way, but your way works.
Carol says
Piece of cake! Thank you.
