A form chords

Unread post by DMBOMJM » Wed Nov 07, 2007 8:57 pm

Has anyone ever noticed that dave bars his "A Form" chords with his pinky? (i.e., Old Dirt Hill-bridge). I guess it's more proof that he took a few guitar lessons and made his own music.

I don't know if there is a consensus on what is the proper way to form those chords. I use my ring finger cause my pinky is just not strong enough to depress those strings.
Do I listen to pop music because I'm miserable or am I miserable because I listen to pop music?

I just think its pretty strange that's all. But than again some of the best musicians of our time rarely took guitar lessons--Hendrix for example.
